Big change in Punjab voter list verification schedule, date pushed to August 3

Chandigarh, Jul 15 (UNI) The Election Commission of India has issued fresh orders changing the ongoing Special Intensive Revision schedule for voter registries in Punjab. The new guidelines have been delivered straight to the state’s Chief Electoral Officer. This entire door-to-door exercise is working with October 1, 2026, as the strict cut-off date to calculate voter eligibility.
This latest adjustment alters all previously fixed deadlines, including the ongoing restructuring of local polling stations and the formal final publication of the new voter lists. As per the modified program, Booth Level Officers will continue their field verification rounds until August 3, 2026. This calendar shift gives ground teams 12 more days to finish the task, moving well past the older July 24 target.
Once the physical home visits wind up, election authorities will put out the first draft of the updated rolls on August 13, 2026. People will get a clear window up to September 12 to add missing names, fix typos, or file objections against wrong entries.
