Punjab Telangana SIR 2026 has moved beyond the original enumeration-only stage. The revised house-to-house enumeration period was scheduled to end on August 3, while the Election Commission’s voter portal now exposes notice-document submission, draft-roll download, Form 6, Form 7, Form 8, appeal submission and appeal tracking.
The reader problem is that these services represent different legal and administrative stages. A visible Enumeration Form does not necessarily prove that a late submission will be accepted, and a generic draft-roll download button does not prove that Punjab’s or Telangana’s revised draft roll has already been published.
Direct answer
The revised Punjab Telangana SIR 2026 timetable remains state-specific. Telangana’s draft roll is scheduled for August 10 and Punjab’s for August 13. Voters who receive an individual notice can now use the portal’s document-response service, while claims, corrections and appeals remain separate routes.

Enumeration schedule: Ended August 3.
Enumeration Form: Still visible on the portal during the check.

What changed on the ECI voter portal?
The live Election Commission voter-service interface now exposes several SIR-related and electoral-roll actions that were not reflected clearly in the earlier article.
Submit documents against notice
Electors who receive an individual notice can use the dedicated document-response route and preserve the acknowledgement.
Download electoral roll
The portal exposes roll PDFs and a draft-roll download route for states under SIR.
Submit appeal
An elector may use the appeal service where an appealable adjudication decision exists.
Track appeal
The portal exposes appeal tracking, including tracking for individuals under adjudication.
Editorial interpretation: The portal has moved from a simple enumeration-entry view toward a broader revision workflow covering notice response, roll access, ordinary forms and appeal handling. That does not mean every stage is open in every constituency at the same time.
Is SIR enumeration open or closed after August 3?
The revised house-to-house enumeration period was scheduled to end on August 3. However, the online Enumeration Form remained visible on the ECI portal when checked on August 5.
Portal visibility and legal acceptance are not the same thing. A visible button does not prove that every late form will be accepted, processed or treated as timely in every constituency.
The safest current wording is:
“The revised enumeration schedule ended on August 3. The online Enumeration Form remained visible on the ECI portal on August 5, so electors should verify whether submission remains available in their constituency rather than assuming the button guarantees acceptance.”
What electors should do now
1
Received an individual notice
Use “Submit Document Against Notice issued,” upload only the requested material and preserve the acknowledgement.
2
Checking the draft roll
Use the official electoral-roll download route after the relevant state publication date.
3
Name missing or entry incorrect
Use the applicable inclusion, deletion, objection or correction route during the state’s claims period.
4
Challenging an adjudication
Use the appeal submission and tracking route where the underlying decision is appealable.
How to check the SIR draft roll
The ECI service now exposes electoral-roll PDF downloads and a “Download SIR Draft Roll for full AC” route.
Electors should:
- wait until the relevant state’s scheduled publication date;
- select the correct state and Assembly Constituency;
- open the correct full-AC or polling-part roll PDF;
- search the elector’s name and verify part and serial number;
- check name, age, address and polling-station details;
- preserve the page or entry before filing any correction or objection.
Open the ECI electoral-roll download service.
A generic download button does not prove state publication. Telangana’s scheduled draft date is August 10 and Punjab’s is August 13. Neither draft should be described as published until the relevant official roll becomes available.
Claims, objections, notice responses and appeals are different
| Route | Purpose | When it is used | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-draft enumeration or declaration | Supply or confirm household and elector information during revision | During the enumeration stage or where the portal still accepts the relevant workflow | Acknowledgement, form reference and submission date |
| Document response against notice | Answer a specific notice issued to an elector | After receiving an individual notice | Notice details, uploaded documents and acknowledgement |
| Claim or objection | Seek inclusion, deletion, objection or correction after draft publication | During the state’s claims-and-objections window | Form number, reference, evidence and status |
| Appeal | Challenge an adjudication decision where an appeal is available | After an appealable decision or order | Decision copy, appeal reference and tracking status |
Form 6, Form 7 and Form 8 in the SIR workflow
Form 6
Main purpose: Inclusion as a new elector.
Typical use: An eligible elector remains absent after the correct draft roll has been checked.
Form 7
Main purpose: Objection to inclusion or request for deletion.
Typical use: A duplicate, deceased, shifted or otherwise ineligible entry is identified.
Form 8
Main purpose: Correction, shifting, replacement EPIC or PwD marking.
Typical use: An existing elector’s details or constituency placement requires correction.
These forms do not replace the notice-response route. An elector who receives a specific SIR notice should follow the notice instructions and use “Submit Document Against Notice issued” where applicable.
What Telangana electors should do
Telangana’s draft electoral roll is scheduled for August 10, 2026.
- Check the official ECI or CEO Telangana roll service after August 10.
- Inspect the correct Assembly Constituency and polling-part roll.
- Verify name, age, address, part, serial number and polling station.
- Use the claims-and-objections period from August 10 to September 9 where needed.
- Respond separately to any individual notice.
- Preserve every acknowledgement and tracking reference.
Open the official CEO Telangana website.
What Punjab electors should do
Punjab’s draft electoral roll is scheduled for August 13, 2026.
- Check the official ECI or CEO Punjab roll service after August 13.
- Open the correct constituency and polling-part roll.
- Confirm that the entry is complete and linked to the correct polling station.
- Use the claims-and-objections period from August 13 to September 12 where necessary.
- Respond separately to any notice issued by the electoral authority.
- Preserve submission and tracking evidence.
Open the official CEO Punjab electoral-roll page.
What if a name is missing from the draft roll?
- Search by EPIC number.
- Search again using personal details and alternate spellings.
- Confirm the correct state, district and Assembly Constituency.
- Inspect the correct draft-roll PDF after publication.
- Contact the BLO or ERO if the record remains unclear.
- Use Form 6 or the applicable inclusion route if the eligible elector remains absent.
- Save the application reference and acknowledgement.
- Respond to any verification visit or notice.
A missing search result is not automatically a final deletion. First verify the state, constituency, spelling and correct draft-roll PDF.
Does having an EPIC card guarantee inclusion?
No. An EPIC card is an electoral identity document, but the elector should still verify whether the name appears in the current applicable electoral roll.
Check:
- name and spelling;
- age or date-of-birth details;
- address and Assembly Constituency;
- part and serial number;
- polling-station details;
- whether any duplicate, shifted or deceased entry remains.
How this Punjab Telangana SIR 2026 update was verified
Verification notes
ThePulseSignal reviewed the revised Punjab and Telangana SIR schedule, the live ECI Citizen Service Portal, the electoral-roll download interface, the ECI electoral-roll information hub and the official CEO Telangana and CEO Punjab pages.
The live portal check was used to confirm that the interface exposed the Enumeration Form, “Submit Document Against Notice issued,” electoral-roll download, Form 6, Form 7, Form 8, appeal submission and appeal tracking.
The timetable was checked separately from the portal interface. The August 3 enumeration deadline, August 10 Telangana draft date, August 13 Punjab draft date, state-specific claims windows, October 8 disposal phase and October 12 final-roll date were treated as the controlling schedule.
Secondary reporting was used only to corroborate the revised timetable where the official schedule text was not easily exposed in a single public interface. It was not used to establish that either state’s draft roll had already been published.
Official sources reviewed
Limitations and unresolved facts
The portal workflow is visible, but state publication and individual acceptance remain separate questions.
- Neither Telangana’s nor Punjab’s revised draft roll was confirmed as published during this check.
- The Enumeration Form remaining visible does not prove that every late submission will be accepted.
- The portal does not publicly establish whether a specific elector received a notice.
- The article cannot confirm whether an individual document response, claim, correction or appeal was accepted.
- Appeal eligibility depends on the decision or adjudication being challenged.
- Constituency-level portal behaviour may differ.
- Official elector statistics should be added only after the relevant state publishes them.
- Draft-roll links should be added only after the correct state publication is verified.
