How to Keep Your Name on the Voter List During an SIR

An SIR is a fresh ground-up rebuild of the roll, not the usual annual touch-up — names can drop if you do nothing.

If a Booth Level Officer can't reach you, your enumeration form may go unsubmitted and your name can be flagged for deletion.

Always get an acknowledgement (paper or app) when you hand in your form; that receipt is your proof.

Check the draft roll the moment it's published and file Form 6/7/8 before the claims-and-objections window shuts.

Aadhaar establishes identity, not citizenship — keep a birth or domicile-type document handy if your area's SIR asks for one.
