Required Documents for the 2025 Voter List Revision
The office of the Chief Electoral Officer, West Bengal, has announced that the work of revising the voter list will begin in August. For this process, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will go door-to-door to collect information. If your age is 18 years or more as of July 1, 2025, you can apply to have your name included in the voter list.
Proof of Date of Birth
The most important document for getting your name on the voter list is proof of your date of birth. Depending on your age, the list of required documents may vary slightly.
For those born before July 1, 1987:
- If you were born before July 1, 1987, you must submit any one document from a specified list.
- Alternatively, if your name was in the 2002 voter list, that part of the list can also be used as proof.
For those born between 1987 and January 1, 2002:
- You will need to submit a document from the specified list as proof of your own birth.
- Additionally, you must also submit a document for your parents, or their names must be on the 2002 voter list.

- Alternatively, your parents’ names must be on the 2002 voter list.
