Quick take: Nagaland’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) draft electoral roll was published on 20 September 2026 across all 60 Assembly Constituencies. The draft contains 12,06,457 electors — 11,99,456 general electors and 7,001 service electors. The claims-and-objections window runs from 20 September to 20 October 2026, while the notice/disposal phase continues until 18 November. The final electoral roll is scheduled for 22 November 2026. (MorungExpress)
If you are a genuine elector whose name is missing from the draft, do not wait for the final roll. Check the draft now and use the claims window.
What changed in Nagaland’s draft?
Before SIR, Nagaland’s electoral roll had 13,57,208 electors.
After the enumeration exercise, the draft roll has 12,06,457 electors. The CEO’s data reported 1,57,752 electors in ASDD categories — broadly Absent/Shifted, Dead and Duplicate — although the net reduction in the draft roll is 1,50,751 after accounting for 7,001 service electors. (MorungExpress)
The largest category was Absent / Permanently Shifted / Others, at 1,23,749. The reported figures also include 28,944 deceased electors and 5,059 duplicate entries. (MorungExpress)
The important distinction
Missing from the draft does not automatically mean you have no route back onto the roll.
The CEO's reported process specifically allows genuine electors whose names are absent from the draft to seek inclusion during the claims-and-objections period. (MorungExpress)
Your Nagaland SIR checklist1. Check your name first
Don't rely on an old voter-ID card sitting in a drawer.
Check the current electoral roll and confirm:
- Name
- EPIC number
- Assembly Constituency
- Part number
- Serial number
- Polling station

2 If your name is missing: use Form 6
The CEO's reported instructions say genuine electors whose names are absent from the draft can submit Form 6 with the prescribed declaration during the claims-and-objections period. (MorungExpress)
Claims window
20 September → 20 October 2026
That is your immediate action window.
Applications can be submitted through the prescribed election machinery, including BLO/AERO/ERO channels, and the reported online routes include voters.eci.gov.in and the ECINET app. (MorungExpress)
Don't confuse this with Form 8.
Form 6: inclusion / new registration
Form 8: correction or shifting of an existing electoral-roll entry
3 If you were marked Absent / Shifted
This is particularly important in Nagaland because the largest ASDD grouping was Absent / Permanently Shifted / Others.
The CEO-linked explanation reported that this bucket includes people who:
- registered elsewhere;
- could not be located during verification;
- did not submit the enumeration form by 14 September; or
- did not wish to register as an elector. (MorungExpress)
So don't assume that an Absent/Shifted classification means the same thing for every person.
If you still ordinarily belong on the Nagaland electoral roll, check your individual entry and follow the prescribed inclusion process.
4. Check the ASDD list if your name disappearedBooth-wise lists of ASDD electors not included in the draft have reportedly been displayed at:
- polling stations;
- ERO/AERO offices; and
- the CEO Nagaland website. (MorungExpress)
This is useful if your name isn't appearing in the draft search.
Save a screenshot of whatever you find.
Keep:
EPIC number + old roll details + current address + application/reference number
together in one folder.
5. Don't ignore a noticeThe claims period isn't the end of the process.
The official SIR schedule provides a separate notice/disposal phase from 20 September to 18 November 2026 for Nagaland.
The CEO's reported clarification says that where discrepancies arise — including cases where an elector could not be linked to the previous 2005 SIR roll — the ERO may issue a notice.
If you receive one:
- Read the reason carefully.
- Note the hearing/submission date.
- Gather the documents relevant to that issue.
- Submit them through the channel specified in the notice.
- Keep the acknowledgement.
- Attend the hearing if one is scheduled.
The reported CEO position is that a genuine elector should not be removed from the draft without notice, enquiry and an opportunity to be heard. (MorungExpress)
6. Keep a simple document folderDon't upload or submit random documents simply because you have them.
Build a folder containing:
- EPIC / voter-ID details
- previous electoral-roll information, if available
- Form 6/application acknowledgement
- notice, if received
- birth/age-related proof where relevant
- residence-related documents where relevant
- other documents specifically requested by the ERO
Your notice and the official instructions for your case take priority over generic internet checklists.
7. New voters approaching 18The reported Nagaland SIR guidance also says that young citizens attaining 18 years on or before 1 October 2026 can apply for inclusion through Form 6 with the prescribed declaration. (MorungExpress)
So families should do a separate check for:
18-year-old / soon-to-be-18 household members → Form 6 eligibility → application status.
Don't assume the SIR process automatically adds a newly eligible voter.
8. Watch the three datesPut these on your phone calendar:
DateWhat it means20 Sep 2026Draft roll published20 Sep–20 Oct 2026Claims & objections18 Nov 2026Notice/disposal phase scheduled to end22 Nov 2026Final electoral roll scheduled
These dates come from the ECI's published SIR schedule for Nagaland.
What happens after 20 October?The claims-and-objections submission window closes on 20 October.
That does not mean the final roll appears immediately.
The scheduled process continues through scrutiny, notices and disposal until 18 November, followed by final publication on 22 November 2026.
So there are effectively three different moments:
Draft → Claims/Objections → Final Roll
Don't treat the draft as the final electoral roll.
If your Form 6 is submittedKeep the acknowledgement/reference number.
Then check the application status through the official voter-services system.
If there is a query or notice, respond within the stated period rather than assuming that submitting Form 6 automatically guarantees inclusion.
If you are listed as a duplicateThe reported SIR data identified 5,059 duplicate entries.
The election machinery said such names would be retained at only one designated polling station. (MorungExpress)
If you believe the duplicate classification is incorrect, don't simply submit multiple fresh registrations.
Use the prescribed claims/objections or correction process and provide the relevant existing EPIC/roll information.
If the person is deceasedFamilies should check older electoral-roll entries carefully.
If a deceased relative's name remains on the roll, use the prescribed deletion process rather than attempting to use that person's voter entry.
This is different from a living elector discovering that their own name has been incorrectly classified as deceased.
A 20-minute household SIR checkSit down with every adult voter in the house.
For each person:
1. Search the name
↓
2. Confirm EPIC + Part + Serial
↓
3. Compare with the draft roll
↓
4. If missing → check ASDD list
↓
5. If missing and eligible → Form 6
↓
6. If notice received → documents + hearing/submission
↓
7. Save acknowledgement
↓
8. Check again before the final-roll date
This is much safer than discovering a missing entry after the claims window has closed.
Don't make these mistakes❌ “My old voter ID proves I'm still on the roll.”
It doesn't replace checking the current electoral roll.
❌ “My name was there before SIR, so it will automatically return.”
Don't assume that. Use the claims process if your current draft entry is missing.
❌ “ASDD means permanently deleted.”
The draft process includes claims, objections, notices and disposal. (MorungExpress)
❌ “I'll wait until November.”
The claims window ends 20 October.
❌ “I'll submit Form 6 twice just to be safe.”
Keep one clean application trail and respond to queries against its reference number.
❌ “A WhatsApp screenshot is enough.”
Use the official electoral-roll and application channels for verification.
If the website doesn't workDon't repeatedly submit a second application because a page timed out.
Try:
- official portal again later;
- CEO Nagaland electoral services;
- your BLO;
- AERO/ERO office;
- 1950.
The CEO Nagaland site lists 1950 as the toll-free contact and provides links for elector search, BLO information, claims/objections and voter registration. (Chief Electoral Officer Nagaland)
The final-roll habitDon't stop after submitting Form 6.
Your personal checklist should be:
Draft check → Application → Acknowledgement → Notice check → Final-roll check
The final Nagaland SIR roll is currently scheduled for 22 November 2026.
