Election Commission Extends Deadline for Electoral Roll Claims in Kerala and Tamil Nadu

The Election Commission of India has extended the deadline for filing claims and objections in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to January 30, 2026, in both Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This extension follows requests from state officials and the Supreme Court's advice. In Kerala, the CPI(M) highlighted errors in the draft rolls, urging the Commission to address clerical mistakes without burdening voters. The Commission encourages eligible citizens to utilize the extended period to ensure accurate voter registration.
