District Election Officer Saurabh Kumar Bhuwania today urged eligible citizens to take advantage of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the Electoral Roll, 2026, by participating in special voter enrolment camps to be held across the district on August 8 and 9.
The camps will be organised at all polling stations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the qualifying date fixed as October 1, 2026.
According to the DEO, citizens who will attain or have already attained the age of 18 years as on October 1, 2026, and are ordinary residents of any polling station area in Deoghar district, can apply for inclusion of their names in the electoral roll by submitting Form-6 along with the prescribed declaration.
The camps will also facilitate family name transfers, enabling family members registered at different polling stations to shift their names to a single polling station for convenience.
In addition, voters can submit Form-8 for correction of entries in the electoral roll, change of residence, issue of an Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) without corrections, or updating disability status and other electoral details.
Bhuwania appealed to all eligible citizens whose names are yet to be included in the electoral roll to visit their nearest polling station during the two-day special drive, complete the necessary formalities and ensure their registration.
Emphasising the importance of electoral participation, he said every vote is valuable in a democracy and urged residents not to miss the opportunity to enrol or update their voter details during the special camps.
