CHENNAI: New voters, residents who have shifted homes, and those left out during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive can now apply for inclusion in Chennai’s final electoral roll, which is set to be published in February.
The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has begun distributing Form-6, the mandatory application for fresh voter enrolment, across the city. The forms are being distributed through nearly 3, 700 booth-level officers (BLOs), enabling residents to access them at the local level.
Alongside physical distribution, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has facilitated online applications through its official voter portal, allowing eligible applicants to submit Form-6 digitally.
In many localities, BLOs have already received the forms from zonal offices and have been instructed to provide them to residents who approach them. Applicants are allowed to fill out and submit the forms on the same day.
In some constituencies, BLOs have been directed to hold booth-level camps specifically to distribute and collect Form-6 applications.
