SIR Enumeration Form: How to Fill It, and How to Find Your Name in the Last SIR Roll

Sarkari Naukri Khabar  •  All India

During SIR, every existing voter receives a pre-filled Enumeration Form from the Booth Level Officer. Filling it in correctly is what keeps your name on the draft roll, and the part people get wrong is the section asking for details from the last SIR roll. This guide goes through the official form field by field, explains how to find your own or a family member's entry in the last SIR roll, including the 2003 Bihar roll, and sets out the three declarations you sign and why a false one is a criminal offence.

What arrives at your door

The Booth Level Officer (BLO) brings a pre-filled Enumeration Form in two copies. You fill in both, sign them, hand one to the BLO and keep the other with an acknowledgement. The BLO's name and phone number are printed at the top of the form; save that number.

If the BLO does not reach you, you can also submit the form online on the Voters' Service Portal, voters.eci.gov.in. The Commission's orders allow the form to be submitted either through the BLO or online.

The part that is already printed

The top of the form is pre-printed from the existing roll. Check it before you write anything, because a wrong entry here is easier to correct now than after the draft roll is out.

• Your name, EPIC (voter ID) number and address
• Your serial number, part number and name, Assembly and Parliamentary constituency, and state
• A QR code and your old photo, with a space to paste a current photo

The part you fill in

Only one of these is optional, and the form says so.

• Date of birth, in DD/MM/YYYY
• Aadhaar number, which the form marks as optional
• Mobile number
• Father's or guardian's name, and his EPIC number if available
• Mother's name, and her EPIC number if available
• Spouse's name and EPIC number, if applicable

The section people get wrong: details from the last SIR

The form has two columns. The first asks for your own entry in the electoral roll of the last SIR: your name as it appeared, EPIC number if available, relative's name, relationship, district, state, Assembly constituency name and number, part number and serial number.

The second column is for when you were not in that roll yourself. Give the same details for a relative whose name was in it, such as a parent. This is what links you to the earlier roll. If neither you nor a relative can be found, the Electoral Registration Officer will send you a notice asking for documents; see our separate guide on which documents you need.

How to find the entry

The information sheet printed with the form says electors can check their own name and a relative's name in the previous SIR roll at voters.eci.gov.in. The details you need are the Assembly constituency number, part number and serial number.

For Bihar, the last intensive revision before 2025 was in 2003. The Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar provides a search of the 2003 Bihar e-roll at election.bihar.gov.in/electorsearch2003, and the current roll can be searched at electoralsearch.eci.gov.in. If you can, ask the BLO: they are there to help you fill the form.

The three declarations you sign

At the bottom you sign, or put a left thumb impression, as the elector or an adult family member, stating the relationship. You declare three things:

• That the elector has not acquired the citizenship of any other country.
• That the name is not included in the roll of any other Assembly or Parliamentary constituency.
• That you are aware a false statement or declaration in this application is punishable under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, with imprisonment of up to one year, or a fine, or both.

If you are registered in two places

The second declaration matters for anyone who moved. If your name is on the roll both in your home village and in the city where you now live, you cannot sign that declaration truthfully for both. Keep the entry where you actually live, and use Form 8 for shifting of residence so the other entry is corrected rather than left as a duplicate. A duplicate entry is one of the four grounds on which the Commission deletes names.

If you missed the deadline

The Commission's orders say that electors whose Enumeration Form is not received by the end of the enumeration period can apply through Form 6, together with the prescribed Declaration Form, during the claims and objections period. BLOs carry blank Form 6 and Declaration Forms during their visits for exactly this.
