How to check your name in Tamil Nadu SIR 2026 final voter list

The Tamil Nadu Chief Electoral Officer has released the final electoral roll after completing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 exercise. The updated list contains approximately 5.67 crore voters across the state.

Voters can verify their names using official government platforms.

The easiest way to check is through the national Voters’ Service Portal at electoralsearch.eci.gov.in. Users can search using their EPIC number, personal details or registered mobile number.

If searching by EPIC number, select Tamil Nadu as the state, enter the voter ID number and captcha code to view registration details. If the name is included in the final roll, polling station information, part number and serial number will be displayed.

Another option is to download the district-wise electoral roll PDF from the Chief Electoral Officer, Tamil Nadu website. Select the district, constituency and polling booth to manually search for names.

Mobile users can install the Voter Helpline App from Google Play Store or Apple App Store and use the “Search Your Name in Electoral Roll” feature.

Alternatively, SMS service is available. Send “ECI EPIC number” to 1950 to receive voter status confirmation.

If a voter’s name is missing despite holding a voter ID card, they can apply for inclusion by submitting Form 6 through the official portal before election processes begin.

The final voter list published after the Tamil Nadu Special Intensive Revision 2026 reflects major updates in electoral registration. Authorities added more than 27.5 lakh new voters during the claims and objections period between December 2025 and January 2026.

The total electorate in Tamil Nadu now stands at about 5.67 crore, including male, female and third gender voters.
