CHENNAI: The Election Commission of India (ECI) is all set to publish the draft electoral roll for Tamil Nadu on Friday, following two earlier extensions.

Officials have urged all eligible persons to check for their names in the draft list. Verification can be done through both online and offline channels.

To check online, voters can visit the official website of the Election Commission (eci.gov.in) or the Tamil Nadu Election Department's portal (tnelections.tn.gov.in) and search using their name and Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) number.

For those preferring offline verification, the draft roll will be available with Booth-Level Officers (BLOs) at local polling stations. "BLOs have been instructed to assist voters in checking the list. This ensures that every eligible citizen can confirm their inclusion and participate in the democratic process," a senior Election Department official said.

The draft roll will be open for public scrutiny and claims for corrections for a stipulated period.
