How to find your name in the last SIR voter list (2002–2005)

Quick answer

The last SIR list is the voter list from your state's previous intensive revision, done between 2002 and 2005. You can search it online on the official ECI voter portal under "Search Your Name in Last SIR", using your state, your name as it was then, and a relative's name. If your own name is missing, you can link yourself through your father's, mother's or grandparents' entry instead.

Why the last SIR list matters

During SIR, the Booth Level Officer (BLO) gives every voter an enumeration form. One part of the form asks for your entry in the last SIR list. If you or a parent is found there, the link is made and your case is simple. If no one is found, you fill in your own details and may have to show a document later. Read more: What is SIR?

The form asks for these six details from the old list:

• Relative's name
• State name
• Assembly constituency name
• Assembly constituency number
• Polling station (part) number
• Serial number in that part

Which year is the last SIR list in your state?

The year is different in each state. A few examples from official state sources:

For other states, the official search page shows the right year when you choose your state.

Before you search: keep these ready

• Your full name as it was written in the old list (before marriage, if you are a married woman).
• Father's, mother's or husband's name as written then.
• Your age in that year (for example, if you were 25 in 2002, you are about 49 now).
• The district and area where you lived at that time, not where you live now.

How to search the last SIR list online: step by step

1. Open the official ECI voter portal and choose Search Your Name in Last SIR. No login or OTP is needed.
2. Select your state. For some states the page opens that state's own old-list search.
3. Choose the district and, if you know it, the assembly constituency where you lived in that year.
4. Type your full name as in the last SIR list and your relative's full name.
5. Choose your age in that year. It is only approximate, so try one or two years up or down.
6. Type the captcha and press Search.
7. When your name appears, note down all six details listed above. A screenshot is useful.

If you moved to another state after the last SIR

Search the list of the state where you lived at that time. For example, someone who moved from Bihar to Delhi after 2002 will not be in Delhi's 2002 list. Their entry, or their parents' entry, will be in the old list of their home state.

Name not found? Try these first

• Search with a short name, without the middle name or surname. The old list may say only "Vivek Mathur", not "Vivek Prakash Mathur".
• Try other spellings (Noufal / Nowfel, Chatterjee / Chaterjee) and search in the state's own language.
• Try a wider age: old lists often have rough ages.
• Remove the district, or try the next constituency, because boundaries and part numbers have changed since 2002.
• Search your father, mother, grandfather or grandmother instead. Any one of them is enough to link you.

Married women: give the details of your own parents or grandparents (your maika), not your father-in-law or mother-in-law.

If no one in the family is found

This is common and does not mean you will lose your vote. Fill in the rest of the enumeration form (date of birth, mobile, father's or guardian's name and EPIC, mother's or spouse's details) and return it without the last SIR part. Aadhaar is optional on the form.

Later, if the Electoral Registration Officer sends you a notice, you show one of the 12 documents the Election Commission accepts, such as a birth certificate, passport, school certificate or permanent residence certificate. See the full list: Documents accepted in SIR. Got a notice? Read what to do after an SIR notice.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Searching your present city instead of where you lived in 2002–2005.
• Using your married surname to search for your name before marriage.
• Copying the part number from your current voter card. Part numbers have changed, so copy them from the old list.
• Picking a look-alike entry. Check that the relative's name and the area also match.

Frequently asked questions

What is the last SIR voter list? It is the voter list made in your state's previous Special Intensive Revision, done between 2002 and 2005. SIR 2025–26 uses it as the base to link today's voters.

Do I need to log in to search the last SIR list? No. The "Search Your Name in Last SIR" search needs only your details and a captcha, no login or OTP.

I was not a voter in 2002. What should I do? If you were under 18 then, you will not be on the list. Use your father's, mother's or grandparents' entry instead.

My parents lived in another state in 2002. Can I use their entry? Yes. Search the old list of the state where they lived then and copy their details into your form.

Is Aadhaar enough if nobody is found? Aadhaar is optional on the enumeration form. If you get a notice, give one of the 12 documents the Election Commission has listed, as told in the notice.
