What if your name is missing?
Eligible citizens whose names do not appear in the final electoral roll can still apply for inclusion, as electoral-roll updating is a continuous process.

Voter ID card alone is not enough
Possession of a Voter ID card does not by itself establish that a person’s name is present in the current electoral roll. Voters should confirm their enrolment in the final list and check their polling-station and serial-number details.
The publication of the final roll does not end the process of updating electoral records. Eligible citizens whose names are missing can apply for inclusion, while voters who find errors in their existing entries can seek corrections through the prescribed procedure.
