Ensuring your name is on the electoral roll is the first step toward exercising your democratic right. In Kerala, 2025 is a pivotal year for the voter database, as the state is undergoing a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) to prepare for the 2026 Assembly elections.
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on how to download the Kerala Voter List 2025 and, more importantly, how to navigate the new SIR Enumeration Form process.
Part 1: How to Download the Kerala Voter List 2025
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Kerala maintains the official booth-wise voter lists. Whether you want to verify your own details or check for your family members, follow these steps:
1. Visit the Official CEO Kerala Website
Navigate to the CEO Kerala Electoral Rolls portal. This is the primary repository for “Booth Wise Voters Lists.”
2. Select Your Location Details
On the landing page, you will be prompted to select:
District: (e.g., Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Kozhikode).
Legislative Assembly Constituency (LAC): Select the specific constituency where you reside.
3. Choose the Polling Station
Once the constituency is selected, a list of all polling booths (Polling Stations) will appear. Locate your specific booth number or name.
4. Download the PDF
Next to your polling station, you will see links for the “Final Electoral Roll 2025.” * Click on the “Final” link.
Enter the Captcha code as displayed on the screen.
The PDF will download to your device.
Note: The voter list is usually published in Malayalam. If you need an English version, some portals offer a language toggle, but the booth-level PDF is traditionally in the regional language.
Part 2: Understanding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2025
For the first time in over 20 years, the Election Commission has initiated a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Kerala. Unlike a standard “Summary Revision,” which only updates changes, the SIR involves a house-to-house enumeration to build a fresh, accurate database.
Why is SIR 2025 different?
Fresh Verification: Booth Level Officers (BLOs) visit every household.
Data Cleaning: It aims to remove deceased voters, permanent shifts, and duplicate entries that have accumulated over two decades.
Linking Records: It helps link current voters with their historical records from the last SIR (conducted around 2002-2004).
Part 3: How to Fill the SIR Enumeration Form 2025
The SIR Form (often called the Enumeration Form or EF) is the central document for this revision. You can complete this either through a physical form provided by your BLO or via the online portal.
Method A: Filling the Form Online (Recommended)
The online process is the fastest way to ensure your data is “mapped” correctly.
Login: Go to the Voters Service Portal (voters.eci.gov.in).
Locate SIR Link: Click on the button labeled “Fill Enumeration Form” (specifically for SIR).
Enter EPIC Number: Input your 10-digit Voter ID (EPIC) number. The system will pull your existing 2025 data.
OTP Verification: A one-time password will be sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
Mapping Your Details: You will be asked to choose one of three categories:
My name exists in the last SIR (2002-2004).
My parents’ name exists in the last SIR.
Neither my name nor my parents’ name exists in the last SIR.
Review and E-Sign: Verify your details (Name, Age, Address). You must use Aadhaar E-sign to submit the form. Ensure your name on your Voter ID matches your Aadhaar exactly.
Method B: Filling the Physical Form (With BLO)
If you prefer the traditional route, your BLO will visit your home with a pre-printed form.
Step 1: Verify Pre-printed Data: The form will already have your Name, EPIC, and Address. Check for any typos.
Step 2: Add Current Photo: While not strictly mandatory, it is highly recommended to affix a recent color passport-size photograph.
Step 3: Provide Identity Links: Fill in your Aadhaar Number and Mobile Number.
Step 4: Relative Details: If you are a new voter, you must provide the EPIC number of a parent or spouse already on the list to establish residency.
Step 5: Signature: Sign the declaration. The BLO will then provide you with a receipt. Keep this receipt safe for future reference.
Part 4: Required Documents for SIR 2025
If your name cannot be “automatically matched” with the old database, you may need to provide supporting documents. Common accepted documents include:
Birth Certificate or SSLC Book (for age proof).
Indian Passport (proof of citizenship and address).
Aadhaar Card.
Land/House Tax Receipt (to prove “Ordinary Residence”).
Common FAQs
1. What if my name is in the 2025 list but I don’t fill the SIR Form? Failure to participate in the SIR process might lead to your name being flagged as “unverified,” which could cause issues during the final publication of the 2026 roll. It is best to cooperate with the BLO or fill it online.
2. I just turned 18. Which form should I fill? If you are not yet on the list, you should fill Form 6 for new registration. The BLO can help you link this new registration with the SIR process simultaneously.
3. Is the SIR Form the same as a Voter ID application? No. The SIR Form is specifically for the Intensive Revision to verify existing voters and map them to their families/history. Form 6, 7, and 8 remain the standard forms for new registration, deletion, and correction.
