Election Commission Orders Special Drive to Re-Enrol Left-Out and New Voters After SIR
The Election Commission of India has directed a special drive in 20 states and Union Territories where the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has been completed. Booth Level Officers will compare pre-SIR and current rolls to identify and re-enrol eligible voters left out or deleted, including first-time and young electors. The drive involves house-to-house verification and aims to complete within a month. The move follows scrutiny and protests over voter deletions during SIR, with the Commission emphasizing continuous voter registration and inclusion.
