The Punjab election authorities will organise special camps at all polling booths across the state on October 24 to help voters check their names in electoral rolls and apply for enrolment or corrections.

Chief Electoral Officer Anindita Mitra said the camps would be held from 3pm to 5pm, following instructions from the Election Commission of India.

The camps will help electors verify their details in the final electoral roll published on October 12 under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026. Voters can also submit applications for fresh enrolment and changes to their electoral details.

Mitra said the qualifying date for the forthcoming Special Summary Revision (SSR) would be January 1, 2027. Citizens who turn 18 on or before that date can apply to have their names included in the electoral roll using Form 6.

The SSR draft electoral roll will be published on November 12. Voters can submit claims and objections from November 12 to December 11 and the final electoral roll is scheduled for publication on January 4, 2027.

Mitra urged voters to use the camps to verify their names and personal details. She also appealed to young people who will turn 18 by January 1, 2027 to visit their polling booths and apply for enrolment.
