Malegaon Voter List 2026: How to Check Your Name and Register for Municipal Elections
The municipal elections in Malegaon require voters to confirm their inclusion on the electoral roll and, if needed, to register or correct details ahead of polling; this guide explains how to check your name, what documents are needed, and how to apply to register or update your entry for the 2026 municipal elections.
Why checking the voter list matters
Being listed on the municipal voter roll is essential to vote in Malegaon civic elections; electoral rolls determine who is eligible at each polling station and are updated periodically to add new voters and remove duplicates or deceased entries.
Where to check the Malegaon voter list
You can check the voter list through the official state and national election portals and at local election offices and designated help desks. Look for the electoral roll (also called the voter list) published online on the state Chief Electoral Officer’s website or the national Voters’ Services Portal, where you can search by name, EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card) number, or area/ward. Local municipal offices and the Malegaon returning officer’s office also maintain printed and ward-wise lists that are available for inspection.
Step-by-step: How to check your name online
1. Go to the Voters’ Services Portal or the Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer’s voter search page.
2. Select the search option—search by name, EPIC number, or address/ward as offered by the portal.
3. Enter required details (full name, father/spouse name, approximate age or year of birth, and ward/area if prompted) and submit the query.
4. Review the search results to find your entry; note your polling station, part number, and EPIC number. If you cannot find your name, proceed to the registration steps below.
How to register if your name is missing (new voter registration)
Eligibility: Indian citizens aged 18 or older, ordinarily resident in the ward/area of Malegaon and not already registered elsewhere, are eligible to apply for inclusion on the municipal electoral roll.
Documents typically required: proof of identity (such as Aadhaar, passport, or PAN), proof of residence (ration card, utility bill, Aadhaar, or rent agreement), and a passport-sized photograph. Keep originals for verification and scanned or photocopies for online or in-person submission.
Online application (recommended where available): Use the national Voters’ Services Portal or the state CEO portal’s “Form 6” (application for inclusion). Complete the form with accurate personal and residence details, upload the supporting documents, and submit. You will receive an acknowledgment; note the reference number for follow-up.
Offline application: Collect Form 6 from the local electoral registration office, municipal ward office, or designated help centres in Malegaon. Fill in the form legibly, attach copies of documents, and submit it in person. Officers may verify particulars and carry out field verification if required.
How to correct or update details on the voter list
If your name appears but details are incorrect (spelling, age, address) you must apply using the appropriate correction form—typically Form 8 for correction of entries or Form 8A for transposition within the same constituency—either online via the voter portal or offline at the electoral office. Attach proof for the change you request (identity or address documents as applicable). Corrections generally require verification and may take a few weeks to reflect in the published roll.
Deadlines, objections and draft rolls
Election authorities publish draft voter lists ahead of finalisation and provide a window for objections, claims, and corrections; check notices at the municipal office and on the CEO website for the draft publication date and last dates for filing objections or claims. Missing these windows can delay inclusion until the next revision, so act promptly once draft rolls are available.
Assistance and grievance redressal
If you face difficulty finding your name, submitting an application, or if your application is rejected without clear reason, visit the Malegaon returning officer’s office or ward-level election help centre for guidance. You can also approach the local booth-level officer (BLO) assigned to your area; BLOs assist with verification, document collection, and follow-up with the electoral office.
On election day
Once included on the voter list, carry your EPIC (Voter ID) where possible; other valid photo identity documents accepted at the polling station may include Aadhaar or passport, depending on the instructions in the election notification. Verify your polling station and timing from the published list to avoid last-minute confusion.
Staying informed about draft roll publications, deadlines for Forms 6 and 8, and local help centres will ensure your ability to vote in Malegaon’s 2026 municipal elections. If you are unsure where to begin, approach your ward office or the election help desk for step-by-step assistance.
