The Election Commission of India (ECI)<\/strong> has launched the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)<\/strong> campaign to ensure that every eligible Indian citizen\u2019s name is correctly included in the voter list and that inaccurate or duplicate entries are removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This large-scale exercise is now being rolled out in 12 states and union territories<\/strong>, including West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Goa, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Lakshadweep, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar<\/strong> has announced that the voter list will be \u201cfrozen\u201d at midnight today, and all further updates will be based on this version. Every registered voter will receive a unique Enumeration Form<\/strong> through their local Booth Level Officer (BLO)<\/strong>. This form will contain their voter details, which they must verify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a voter\u2019s name appeared in the 2003 electoral list<\/strong>, no additional documents will be needed for verification. Similarly, if a voter\u2019s parents\u2019 names appeared in that list, no extra proof will be required. However, anyone missing from the list or with incorrect details will need to fill the form and submit the necessary documents for correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEC highlighted the success of the SIR process in Bihar<\/strong>, where 7.5 crore voters actively participated, supported by 90,000 BLOs and 1.6 lakh agents from 12 political parties. The same level of accuracy and participation will now be implemented in other states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voters can also visit voters.eci.gov.in<\/a><\/strong> to check their old records and ensure that their names and details are correct. The ECI wants to make sure that only genuine and eligible voters<\/strong> are included in the rolls \u2014 a crucial step to uphold the integrity of Indian democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each polling station will have a designated BLO responsible for verifying around 1,000 voters. They will deliver the Enumeration Forms and collect verified data. If any errors or missing names are found, the correction process will begin immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SIR process timeline<\/strong> is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
