The Election Commission of India (ECI), New Delhi, has revised the schedule for the Special Summary Revision (SSR) of Photo Electoral Rolls in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, with January 1, 2027, as the qualifying date. The revised schedule supersedes the earlier schedule issued on October 15, 2026.
The revision aims to ensure the accuracy and inclusiveness of the Electoral Rolls by facilitating the enrolment of all eligible citizens, particularly those left out, young voters and first-time electors.
As per the revised schedule, the integrated draft Electoral Rolls will be published on November 17, 2026. The period for filing claims and objections will be from November 17 to December 16, 2026. The disposal of claims and objections will be completed by December 28, 2026, while the final publication of the Electoral Rolls will take place on January 4, 2027. The dates for disposal of claims and objections and final publication remain unchanged.
The Special Summary Revision is being conducted under Section 21 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, to facilitate the enrolment of eligible electors with reference to January 1, 2027, as the qualifying date. Advance applications will also be accepted from prospective electors who will attain the age of 18 years with reference to the subsequent qualifying dates of April 1, July 1 and October 1, 2027.
Citizens who attain the age of 18 years on or before January 1, 2027, and fulfil the prescribed eligibility criteria have been encouraged to apply for enrolment if their names are not already included in the Electoral Rolls.
Claims for inclusion of names, objections to the inclusion of any name and requests for correction of particulars in existing entries can be submitted in the prescribed Forms 6, 7 and 8, as applicable, on or before December 16, 2026.
Applications and objections can be submitted to the concerned Designated Officers or Booth Level Officers (BLOs) at designated polling stations. They may also be sent by post to the Electoral Registration Officer, A&N Islands Parliamentary Constituency, or the concerned Assistant Electoral Registration Officer. Online submissions can be made through the ECINET App or the ECI Voters’ Services Portal at https://voters.eci.gov.in. Electors can also seek assistance through the toll-free helpline number 1950.
To facilitate the process, special camps will be organised at all polling stations across the Andaman & Nicobar Islands Parliamentary Constituency on November 21 (Saturday) and November 22 (Sunday), 2026, from 9 AM to 5 PM. Booth Level Officers will remain available at their respective polling stations on both days to assist electors.
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Andaman & Nicobar Islands, has appealed to all eligible citizens, particularly young and first-time electors, to ensure that their names are included in the Electoral Rolls during the prescribed period for claims and objections. Political parties have also been urged to extend their cooperation in facilitating the enrolment of eligible citizens who may have been left out.
