Key highlights
- The real January “deadline energy” is the claims & objections window—officially scheduled up to 15 January 2026. CEO Goa
- Final publication of rolls (in this SIR cycle) is scheduled 14 February 2026—so January is about fixing errors before it hardens. CEO Goa
- If you do nothing in January and your details are wrong, the correction fight becomes harder later.
First: what’s officially scheduled in this revision cycle?
The Election Commission’s revised SIR schedule (qualifying date 01.01.2026) sets:
- Draft roll publication: 16.12.2025
- Claims & objections: 16.12.2025 to 15.01.2026
- Disposal/hearing/verification phase: up to 07.02.2026
- Final publication: 14.02.2026 CEO Goa
What you should actually do in January (5-minute actions)
- Check your entry (name, age, address, polling station).
- If wrong: file correction/objection during the window ending Jan 15. CEO Goa
- Keep proof: acknowledgement/receipt matters if there’s a dispute later.
Why this is “pre-election critical”
Electoral rolls are the gatekeeping layer: campaigns can be loud, but voting eligibility is decided quietly—by what the roll says when it’s finalized.

Can my name be deleted wrongly?
Errors happen—especially in large revisions. That’s why the claims/objections window exists. CEO Goa
If I’m eligible, am I automatically included?
Not always. Eligibility and inclusion aren’t identical—verify your entry.
