Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls Progresses Across Indian States
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is underway across multiple Indian states, including Delhi, Haryana, Nagpur, and Hyderabad. In Delhi, over half of the 14.5 million voters have received enumeration forms, with less than 2% digitised so far. Haryana reports 96% distribution and 59% form collection and digitisation. Nagpur and Hyderabad show similar patterns of high distribution but slower form submission and digitisation. The exercise, involving door-to-door visits and online options, aims to update voter details before draft rolls are published in July.
