The draft voter list for West Bengal's SIR 2026 has been published. Whether your name is on the list or not, how to check it is mentioned step by step below.

If you are checking on a desktop or laptop, then click the https://www.eci.gov.in/ link. The Election Commission of India page will open.

At the very top, on the right side, you will see SIR-2026 written in a box. Next to it are three boxes in green, blue and dark pink colours. The dark pink box says 'Search your name in E-Roll'. Clicking on that box will open another page.

On that page, it says 'Search by EPIC', 'Search by Details', and 'Search by Mobile'.

Clicking 'Search by EPIC' will open a box to write the EPIC Number.

Enter your EPIC number, i.e., voter card number, there. In the box next to it, go to 'Select Your State' and select your state.

Look at the Captcha Code and write the Captcha in the box next to it. Then click 'Search'. You will see your name and details.

If you want, you can also check by going to the 'Search by Details' or 'Search by Mobile' options. However, if the mobile number is not linked to the voter card, it won't show up in 'Search by Mobile'.

On the other hand, in 'Search by Details', you will see the details after providing quite a bit of information. From that perspective, the EPIC option is much easier.

How to check on mobile phone?

If you want to check the list on your mobile phone, then go to the Apple Store or Google Play Store and download the ECINET app. Then, following each step mentioned above, you can see your name in the same way.

Even if the name is in the draft, you may be called for a hearing.

Even if your name is on the draft list, you may be called for a hearing. This is because the draft list has been prepared based on the enumeration form fill-up. You have filled out the form following proper rules, so your name has appeared in the draft list. Now, if the linkage with the SIR of 2002 is not found, you may be called. Keep any one of those 11 documents organised at hand.
