How to Respond to “Logical Discrepancy” Notices (SIR 2026) on the Voters’ Service Portal
How to Submit Documents for Logical Discrepancy Notice on Voter Portal- If you have received a notice regarding a “Logical Discrepancy” under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 drive, do not panic. This is part of the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) latest effort to clean up the electoral rolls by removing errors like duplicate entries, age mismatches in family trees, or missing photographs.
The ECI has enabled a specific facility on their portal to respond to these notices online. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step using the Voters’ Service Portal (ECINet).
๐ง What is a “Logical Discrepancy”?
Before you submit your documents, it helps to know what you are fixing. A “Logical Discrepancy” usually refers to data that the system has flagged as mathematically or biologically impossible or inconsistent. Common examples include:
- Age Gaps: The age difference between a parent and child in the system is less than 15 years or more than 50 years.
- Family Tree Errors: You are mapped to the wrong relative or “progeny” in the database.
- Duplicate Data: Your name/photo appears in multiple constituencies.
You are required to submit valid proof (like a Birth Certificate or Aadhaar) to correct this record and prevent your name from being flagged or deleted.
โ Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- The Notice Reference Number: This would be on the physical notice sent to you or provided by your Booth Level Officer (BLO).
- Your EPIC Number: Your Voter ID card number.
- Registered Mobile Number: The phone linked to your Voter ID to receive the OTP.
- Proof Documents: Scanned copies (PDF/JPG) of documents that prove the correct details (e.g., Aadhaar, Pan Card, Birth Certificate).
