The exercise aims to include eligible voters missing from the rolls, remove duplicate or ineligible entries, and correct errors in existing voter details. The final electoral rolls prepared after the completion of the process will be published in February 2026.

After the publication of the draft rolls, voters will be able to file claims and objections for inclusion, deletion or correction of entries within the period notified by the ECI.

    SIR, or Special Intensive Revision, is a large-scale verification exercise that the ECI undertakes when it believes the routine annual “Summary Revision” is not enough to clean the voter rolls. It involves house-to-house enumeration, pre-filled forms, online submissions, and fresh verification of old voter data.

    The Election Commission has power to conduct SIR whenever it deems fit as per Article 324 of the Indian Constitution. The ‘plenary powers’ granted to ECI allows the commission to order an intensive revision whenever it finds inaccuracies in the existing rolls.
