Dehradun Voters Get Opportunity to Correct Electoral Roll Errors; Claims and Objections Open Until August 13
ERO/AERO offices to function at Assembly level, voters to receive seven-day prior notice before hearings
Dehradun | July 16, 2026
The draft electoral roll for Dehradun district has been officially published as part of the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision programme. Eligible voters whose names, addresses, age, gender, or other personal details contain errors—or whose records could not be properly mapped—can now submit claims and objections to have their information corrected.
The correction window will remain open from July 14 to August 13, 2026.
A training session for Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) was held at the Municipal Corporation Auditorium under the chairmanship of District Election Officer Dr. Ashish Chauhan and Additional District Election Officer Abhinav Shah. Officials were trained on verification procedures, document scrutiny, hearing protocols, and digital processing of applications.
Dedicated ERO and AERO Offices
Dedicated ERO and AERO offices will be established in every Assembly constituency to facilitate voter services. Individuals whose records contain discrepancies will receive an official notice at least seven days before the scheduled hearing, enabling them to present valid supporting documents.
Applicants will be required to submit any one of the 11 documents approved by the Election Commission for verification. Following the hearing, officials will digitally upload their findings and recommendations.

He also directed authorities to provide adequate public facilities at hearing centres, including drinking water, seating arrangements, toilets, uninterrupted power supply, and reliable internet connectivity.
