Election Commission Orders Special Drives to Enroll Left-Out and New Voters Post-SIR
The Election Commission of India has directed states and Union Territories where the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is complete to conduct special drives to enroll eligible voters left out during the SIR process, including first-time and young electors. Booth Level Officers will verify and cross-check pre- and post-SIR rolls through house-to-house visits. The drives aim to ensure no eligible voter is disenfranchised, with efforts underway in states like Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Haryana, Mizoram, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
