The Congress on Friday (November 13, 2026) launched a website where voters can check if their names have been deleted from electoral rolls during the special intensive revision (SIR) and register complaints seeking restoration.

Announcing the initiative, Congress general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal said the website, Iamvoterakshak.in, would allow citizens to verify their names and formally protest against deletions by applying for restoration.

Before the announcement, Mr. Venugopal chaired a video conference with AICC general secretaries, in-charges, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) presidents, AICC secretaries and observers to review the party’s ongoing ‘Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao’ campaign against alleged electoral irregularities.

As part of the next phase of the campaign, Congress workers will function as ‘Vote Rakshaks’ and visit every polling booth to verify deletions from electoral rolls.

“The mission to stop ‘vote chori’ continues in every single corner of India,” Mr. Venugopal said, asserting that the Congress would continue its campaign until the integrity of the electoral system was restored.

The party will organise village-level chaupals across the country by December 15, where names deleted during the SIR exercise will be read out, Mr. Venugopal said.

The PCCs will organise large-scale ‘Samvidhan Raksha Marches’ in their respective States on November 26, Constitution Day.
