Chennai, February 8: The Election Commission of India has announced that the final voter list for tamil nadu will be officially published on February 17, as per the scheduled timeline. This list will be available at district collector offices, municipal offices, polling stations, and on the official website of the Election Commission.

As part of a special intensive revision process under the SIR procedure, officials conducted a detailed verification campaign of the voter list across the state. The draft voter list was released on December 19 last year, inviting feedback and new applications from the public. Citizens were given time until Monday to add, correct, or change their entries.

The response has been quite positive, with approximately 3.475 million applications submitted statewide. These include requests for new registrations, address changes, and corrections to personal details. Election officials stated that booth-level officers (BLOs) are actively engaged in verifying the applications at the grassroots level.

To ensure that only eligible voters are included, door-to-door checks, document inspections, and field visits were conducted. According to the commission, nearly 90 percent of the applications have already been reviewed, and the remaining verifications are expected to be completed by Tuesday. Once the process is finalized, the updated and final voter list will be made public on February 17.

The Election Commission has also taken steps to issue voter identification numbers to new voters. The printing of Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPICs) is currently underway. From February 17, these voter ID cards will be sent directly to applicants’ homes via express post, ensuring timely delivery and greater convenience.

Officials have indicated that this special intensive revision reflects the commission’s commitment to conducting free, fair, and inclusive elections by maintaining an accurate and updated voter database in Tamil Nadu.
