Deadline for Electoral Roll Claims and Objections Extended for Silchar Municipal Corporation Wards

Silchar, June 26, 2025: In an important development ahead of the forthcoming elections to the Silchar Municipal Corporation, authorities have extended the last date for filing claims and objections regarding the publication of the Electoral Roll. The new deadline has now been set for 30th June 2025, providing additional time for eligible voters to ensure the accuracy of their electoral details.

The extension comes as part of ongoing efforts to ensure maximum public participation and to address any discrepancies that residents may find in the draft electoral roll. Individuals residing in various wards of the Silchar Municipal Corporation area are encouraged to verify their names, addresses, and other details to ensure that their right to vote is secured without hindrance.

Designated Registration Officers Assigned for Each Ward

To facilitate the process, the Office of the District Election Officer has released an official list of Registration Officers (ROs) assigned to oversee the claims and objections for each of the 42 municipal wards under the Silchar Municipal Corporation.

These officers, drawn from various government departments including Public Works, Irrigation, Agriculture, Fisheries, and other civic bodies, are stationed at specific centers across Silchar for the convenience of residents. The designated centers and contact details of each RO have been officially notified and are available for public reference.

Each ward has a clearly assigned Registration Officer responsible for receiving, verifying, and processing claims and objections. Residents are advised to contact their respective ROs for any assistance, clarification, or submission of required documents within the stipulated timeline.

Public Urged to Participate Proactively

The district administration has urged all citizens, especially first-time voters and newly relocated residents, to proactively review the draft electoral roll and ensure necessary corrections are made before the extended deadline lapses.

For further information, queries, or filing procedures, residents can directly approach the Registration Officers allotted to their ward. The detailed list, including ward-wise officer names, designations, contact numbers, and office addresses, has been circulated and is also available at the respective RO centers.

Importance of an Accurate Electoral Roll

An accurate electoral roll is fundamental to the conduct of free, fair, and transparent elections. The administration reiterated its commitment to ensuring that every eligible voter is duly enlisted and that all genuine concerns raised by citizens are promptly addressed.

For seamless electoral participation and to uphold the democratic process, timely cooperation from the public is solicited.
