As per the updated schedule, the enumeration period, which was earlier set to conclude on December 4, 2025, has now been extended, and the new last date for submission of the Enumeration Form is December 11, 2025. The Draft Electoral Rolls will be published on December 16, 2025, and claims and objections will be accepted from December 16, 2025, to January 15, 2026.

The CEO urged all electors of the A&N Islands to submit their Enumeration Forms, which have already been distributed by the Booth Level Officers, before the revised deadline of December 11, 2025. He cautioned that electors who fail to submit the form by the stipulated date will not have their names included in the Draft Electoral Roll scheduled for publication on December 16, 2025.
Emphasizing the significance of the ongoing enumeration exercise, Shri Kumar stated that the Special Intensive Revision plays a crucial role in ensuring an accurate, error-free, and inclusive electoral roll.
