The State Election Commission (SEC) Kerala has published the final voter list for the 2025 local body (panchayat) elections, and many voters are asking: is my name included? Or, worryingly, was it deleted?
Using the SEC’s official voter search portal (sec.kerala.gov.in/public/voters/list) anyone can verify whether they are in the electoral roll — and take action if they are not.
Why This Matters: Voter List Update Highlights
- The final list for the 2025 local body elections has 2,84,46,762 eligible voters, according to the SEC.
- During the revision process, 13.8 lakh names were deleted from the draft list.
- The SEC accepted corrections, objections, and new registrations up to a specified deadline, and Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) held hearings before finalizing the list.
- The SEC has already addressed several issues, including duplicate entries, wrong booths, and other discrepancies.
How to Check Your Name on the Voter List
- Go to the SEC Kerala website’s Voter Search page.
- You can choose to search state-wise, local body-wise, or ward-wise.
- Enter your EPIC number, or your old/new SEC ID number.
- Make sure the data you enter (name, ID) matches what you gave during registration — otherwise, the search may fail.
- Click “Search” to view the published voter list for your area. You can also download the PDF to verify offline.
What If Your Name Is Missing or Deleted?
If your name does not appear in the final voter list, you have some options:
- You can report duplicate entries or other errors to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO).
- If you moved or changed wards, you can apply for transposition or address correction using Form 8.
- For new registrations, you can use Form 6 (if eligible) to request inclusion in the voter list.
Why It’s Important Right Now
Verifying your name on the final voter list is especially crucial because Kerala’s 2025 local body elections are just around the corner.
The SEC has emphasized that any errors — from missing names to incorrect polling stations — will be addressed, but only if voters report them in time.
