Odisha: Mapping of 90 per cent voter list completed: CEO

In Odisha, around 90 per cent of the revision of the voter list has already been completed with the 2002 electoral roll.Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) R S Gopalan said in Bhubaneshwar that this mapping process is expected to be completed within the next 15 days, and the target is fixed to achieve at least 95 per cent mapping. The special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in the state would commence from April 1, Gopalan said.
The identity, continuity and authenticity of voters are being verified by mapping the voter list of 2025 with that of 2002, the CEO said."There is some problem in mapping around 10 per cent of the voters. This problem is especially prominent in urban areas like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Berhampur, Puri as people from different parts of the country and the state reside in the cities. Similarly, more than 4 lakh voters have been identified as having voter ID cards in many places," Gopalan said.
Gopalan said those whose names are not mentioned in the 2002 voter list should give their complete details to the BLO for mapping. "Voters do not need to give any of their documents to anyone during mapping. They can search for voter details by scanning the QR code through the ECINET mobile app. Voter list related services are also available through the Voter Service Portal and CEO website. If their name is in the 2025 roll, there is no need to produce Aadhaar card," he said. The CEO said those who have not been mapped will get a notice when the SIR process starts. "We will ask them to produce any of the 11 documents.." he said.
