Odisha voter list correction last date 2026: the deadline for filing claims and objections under the ongoing electoral-roll revision has been extended to August 19, 2026.
The notice and disposal phase has also been extended to September 17. The final-roll publication date should not be treated as changed unless the Election Commission or CEO Odisha publishes a revised schedule.
Disposal: Sep 17
Form 6, 7 or 8
Filing is not approval
The direct answer
If your name is missing, your details are wrong, or you need to object to an entry, act before August 19.
Use Form 6 for a new inclusion, Form 8 for correction or shifting, and Form 7 for an objection or proposed deletion. Keep the acknowledgement or reference number and check the electoral roll again after the ERO decides the application.
The Electoral Registration Officer must examine and decide the claim or objection. Confirm the result through the official voter-service platform or the updated electoral roll.

What are the revised Odisha voter-list deadlines?
| Revision stage | Revised date | What it means for voters |
|---|---|---|
| Filing claims and objections | August 19, 2026 | Submit inclusion, correction, shifting or objection applications before the deadline |
| Notice phase and disposal of claims and objections | September 17, 2026 | EROs may verify, issue notices and decide applications during this period |
| Final electoral roll | Not confirmed as revised | Do not assume the earlier final-roll date remains current or has changed until an official revised schedule is published |
First check whether your name is in the current roll
Before filing a fresh form, search the current electoral roll through the official CEO Odisha or ECI voter-service route.
Check:
- your name and spelling;
- age or date-of-birth details;
- photograph;
- relationship details;
- address and polling-part information;
- whether an old or duplicate entry remains.
Open the official CEO Odisha portal.
Which form should an Odisha voter use?
| Voter’s problem | Likely form | Important caution |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible person’s name is absent | Form 6 | Use for new enrolment; filing does not guarantee approval |
| Existing entry has incorrect details | Form 8 | Use the exact correction option relevant to the error |
| Address has changed | Form 8 | Apply in the constituency where the new ordinary residence is located |
| Object to an allegedly ineligible entry | Form 7 | Provide truthful supporting information; the ERO decides |
| Entry of a deceased, shifted or duplicate elector remains | Form 7 | Do not make an unsupported or politically motivated objection |
What should you do if your name is missing?
File Form 6 through an official route:
- the ECI voter-service portal;
- the Voter Helpline mobile application;
- the CEO Odisha portal;
- the concerned ERO or AERO;
- the Booth Level Officer.
Use the document guidance attached to the current Form 6. Do not upload identity documents through unofficial websites, agents or messaging groups.
What if the name, age, photograph or address is wrong?
Use Form 8 for correction of an existing entry or for shifting residence.
Choose the correct request type and provide only the supporting material requested by the current official form. Save a copy of the submitted form and its reference number.
How can an objection or deletion request be filed?
Form 7 is used to object to an inclusion or request deletion of an entry such as that of a deceased, permanently shifted, absentee or duplicate elector.
The objection must be truthful and supported. The ERO must examine the matter under the prescribed process.
What should you do after receiving a verification or deletion notice?
- Read the notice carefully and note the response date.
- Confirm that it came from an authorised election official.
- Preserve the notice and acknowledgement.
- Provide the requested explanation or documents through the official route.
- Attend the hearing or verification if directed.
- Track the decision and recheck the electoral roll.
Do not ignore a notice merely because you previously submitted an enumeration or application form.
How can an application be tracked?
Keep the application reference number generated at submission.
Use the official voter-service portal or application-status feature to check progress. ECI guidance says the ERO’s decision is communicated to an applicant and the updated electoral roll can also be checked publicly.
A reference number proves that an application was submitted. It does not by itself prove that the name has been added, corrected or deleted.
What if the BLO did not visit?
Do not assume that no BLO visit means automatic deletion or that no action is possible.
Check your name in the current roll and use the official online or offline application route before August 19 where inclusion or correction is required. CEO Odisha also publishes BLO contact details through its official portal.
What if the ERO rejects the application?
ECI’s general electoral-roll guidance says that, during a revision, an appeal against an ERO’s order may be filed before the District Election Officer.
The exact appeal period, format and authority applicable to a particular order should be checked in the decision notice and current official instructions. Do not refile repeatedly without understanding why the earlier application was rejected.

Verification and editorial limitation
Confirmed through the government broadcaster: Odisha’s claims-and-objections deadline was extended to August 19, and the notice/disposal deadline to September 17.
Confirmed through ECI guidance: Form 6 is used for inclusion, Form 8 for correction or shifting, and Form 7 for objection or proposed deletion.
Confirmed through ECI guidance: EROs process claims and objections; filing a form is not the same as approval.
Not confirmed: a revised final-roll publication date, new special-camp dates, a universal resubmission rule for rejected applications or a separate extension for every possible voter-service category.
Last verified: August 1, 2026, 10:25 PM IST.
Limitation: A signed revised ECI or CEO Odisha schedule was not located in the indexed official pages reviewed. The deadline dates are therefore attributed to Akashvani’s report of the ECI decision, while procedural guidance is grounded in official ECI and CEO Odisha material.
