Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar on Friday, 25 September 2026, announced a series of special voter enrollment camps across the National Capital Territory (NCT), designed to register left-out eligible electors and first-time young voters before the electoral roll revision deadline. The initiative is part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, launched by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on 14 May 2026, with the twin objective of ensuring every eligible citizen is included while no ineligible person enters the rolls.
Key Camp Dates and Locations
Building on a first special camp held on 20 September 2026, the next camp is scheduled for 27 September at all polling station locations across Delhi. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will be present with electoral rolls and blank Form-6 applications to assist prospective voters on the spot.
In a targeted push to capture the 18-to-25 age group, dedicated camps will be held on 29 and 30 September at all colleges, universities, and educational institutions in the city. BLOs will guide students through the application process at these venues.
Who Is Eligible and What to Bring
Any citizen who has completed, or will complete, 18 years of age as on 1 October 2026, and whose name does not appear in the draft electoral roll, can file Form-6 along with supporting documents during these camps. Citizens may also raise other claims and objections using the prescribed forms.
The ECI has defined the purpose of each form: Form-6 is for new voters; Form-6A is for overseas electors; Form-7 covers objections to proposed inclusion or deletion of names; and Form-8 handles corrections, residence shifts, EPIC card replacements, and registration of persons with disabilities.
Offline and Online Application Options
Offline applications can be submitted to the electoral registration officer, assistant electoral registration officer, BLOs, or at designated polling station locations between 31 August and 30 September 2026. Online registrations are accepted through the ECI portal at voters.eci.gov.in and the ECINET mobile app.
The Broader Drive for Inclusive Electoral Rolls
Delhi CEO Ashok Kumar has urged all eligible residents to utilise the camps without delay. The Election Commission has reiterated its commitment to a transparent, participative, and inclusive revision process. Notably, the SIR campaign comes ahead of a politically significant period for the capital, making an accurate and exhaustive voter list especially consequential. Citizens who miss the camp window can still apply online until the 30 September deadline.
Point of View
But their consequences are electoral. Delhi's young, mobile population — students who shift residences, first-time voters who miss deadlines — are chronically under-represented on electoral rolls, and special camps at colleges are a practical corrective. The 30 September cutoff is tight, and the real test is turnout at these camps, not the announcement itself. The Election Commission's SIR framework is sound on paper; execution at the booth level has historically been uneven, and a single day of college camps may not be enough to capture every eligible 18-year-old in a city of this scale.
