Voter List-2002

The 2002 Voter List published by the Election Commission of India became an important benchmark for verifying Indian citizenship, particularly for residents of Bihar and West Bengal. If a person’s name appeared on the 2002 electoral roll, it could be presumed that they had a valid basis for claiming Indian citizenship. Their name would also be expected to appear during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), an exercise conducted by the Election Commission in 2026 to ensure that all eligible Indian citizens are properly included in the electoral rolls.
