Odisha voter list correction last date 2026: the extended Special Intensive Revision claims-and-objections window closed on August 19, 2026. The revised notice, scrutiny, hearing and disposal stage then ran through September 17.
As of September 18, the next scheduled statewide milestone is publication of Odisha’s final electoral roll on September 21, 2026. Voters with a pending or recently decided application should now focus on checking their status and verifying the final roll when it is published.
Hearings/disposal: Ended Sep 17
Final roll: Due Sep 21
Filing is not approval
The direct answer
The special claims window and the revised disposal period have both ended. The next scheduled checkpoint is Odisha’s final electoral roll on September 21.
If you filed a claim, correction or objection, keep your acknowledgement or reference number and check the official application status. When the final roll is published, verify the actual electoral-roll entry rather than assuming that submission, a hearing or an acknowledgement automatically produced the requested change.
The Electoral Registration Officer must examine and decide the application. A submitted form or reference number proves filing, not final inclusion, correction or deletion.

Odisha voter list correction last date 2026: what is the current timeline?
| Revision stage | Revised date | Status on September 18 | What it means for voters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claims and objections | Up to August 19, 2026 | Closed | The extended SIR filing period has ended. |
| Notices, scrutiny, hearings and disposal of claims and objections | Up to September 17, 2026 | Scheduled period ended | The revised schedule’s disposal endpoint has passed. Check your individual status or decision rather than assuming the outcome. |
| Final electoral roll publication | September 21, 2026 | Upcoming | Recheck the final roll to verify whether your entry reflects the decision on your case. |
The original schedule placed final publication on September 6. The revised Odisha schedule extended claims and objections to August 19, disposal to September 17 and final publication to September 21.
What if you filed a claim or correction before August 19?
If you submitted an inclusion, correction, shifting or objection request within the extended claims period, keep your acknowledgement or reference number and check the official status.
The scheduled scrutiny and disposal period ran through September 17. That date does not by itself tell you the result of an individual application. Your case may show an ERO decision, a notice history or another candidate-specific status that must be checked through the official voter-service process.
What should you do now?
Keep your application reference number, check the official status and preserve any ERO communication. Then verify the final electoral roll after its scheduled publication on September 21.
What if you missed the August 19 Odisha claims deadline?
The special claims-and-objections period under this Odisha SIR cycle has closed.
Do not treat August 19 as an active deadline or assume that the completed SIR claims window has been reopened. ECI continues to provide voter-registration and electoral-roll services, but the exact route available after the special SIR window should be checked through the current ECI or CEO Odisha process applicable to your case.
The special August 19 filing period has ended. Use only the current official route shown by ECI or CEO Odisha for any later inclusion, correction or other request.
How can you check whether your name is in the Odisha voter list?
Use the official ECI voter-service platform or CEO Odisha resources to check your electoral-roll entry.
Review:
- your name and spelling;
- age or date-of-birth details;
- photograph;
- relationship details;
- address and polling-part details;
- whether your entry is visible in the relevant electoral roll; and
- whether an old or duplicate entry remains.

What do Form 6, Form 7 and Form 8 mean?
The closed SIR deadline does not change the basic purpose of the electoral forms.
| Voter problem | Form | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible person’s name needs to be included | Form 6 | Application for new enrolment. |
| Existing voter entry has incorrect details or residence needs to be shifted | Form 8 | Correction or shifting of an existing entry. |
| Objection to an allegedly ineligible entry or request concerning deletion | Form 7 | Objection or proposed deletion, subject to ERO examination. |
Which form exists for a problem and whether a particular filing window is currently open are different questions. Always follow the current official submission workflow.
What is the latest position on Form 7 deletion objections?
Odisha Chief Electoral Officer R.S. Gopalan told the Times of India on September 14 that the office had received fewer than 60,000 Form 7 applications during the claims-and-objections period and that a majority had been rejected. He also said no fresh Form 7 submissions had been received after the August 19 deadline.
The CEO said genuine voters would not be removed without the required verification process. The statement is relevant to concerns about deletion objections, but it does not determine the status of any individual voter. Check your own roll entry and official case status.
How can you track an Odisha voter application?
Keep the reference number generated when your application was submitted and use official ECI or CEO Odisha status facilities to monitor the case.
ECI’s elector services include application-status tracking as well as electoral-roll search and download facilities. A status entry, notice or ERO communication is more useful for an individual case than the statewide schedule alone.
A reference number confirms that an application was received. It does not prove that the electoral roll has already been changed.
What happens when the Odisha final voter list is published on September 21?
The revised Odisha schedule places publication of the final electoral roll on September 21, 2026. TPS found no newer verified Odisha schedule in the sources reviewed on September 18 that displaced that date.
After publication, voters should check the relevant final roll again rather than assuming that an earlier application, hearing or acknowledgement automatically produced the requested result.
Check whether:
- your name is present;
- the requested correction appears;
- your polling-part and address details are correct;
- a disputed deletion or objection was decided as expected; and
- any further official action is required.
What if the ERO rejects your application?
ECI guidance provides an appeal route against an Electoral Registration Officer’s order.
During a revision, an appeal may be made to the District Election Officer. The exact appeal period, competent authority and procedure applicable to your case should be checked in the ERO decision and current official instructions.
Do not repeatedly submit the same request without first understanding why the earlier application was rejected.

Is the Odisha voter list correction deadline still open?
No. The extended SIR claims-and-objections deadline ended on August 19, 2026.

The revised statewide schedule ran through September 17. As of September 18, that scheduled phase has ended. Check the official status of your individual case for any remaining case-specific communication or decision.

The revised schedule places final electoral-roll publication on September 21, 2026.
What should I do if I already filed an application?
Keep your reference number, check the current application status and verify the final electoral-roll entry after publication.

Form 6 is used for new enrolment.
Which form is used to correct an existing voter entry?
Form 8 is used for correction and shifting of an existing entry.

Form 7 is used for objections or proposed deletion cases, subject to examination by the ERO.
Can I still use voter services after August 19?
ECI continues to provide voter-registration, correction and status services. That does not mean the closed August 19 SIR claims window remains open. Follow the current official process applicable to your case.
