Why It Matters: Your Name on the List Is Your Vote
Many people discover they are missing from the voter list only on polling day, when it is too late. Weekend camps at every neighbourhood polling station make it easier for working residents and students to check and fix their details without taking time off.
For young people turning 18, the camps are a chance to register before the next electoral revision is finalised.
Can't Make It? Apply Online
Voters can also apply online through the Election Commission's voter services portal or the Voter Helpline app, using the same forms.
The Bottom Line
If you live in Chennai and are not on the voter list, or your details are wrong, this weekend is the simplest time to fix it. Visit your local polling station with proof of age and address.
