Indian States Launch Drives to Re-Enroll Voters Omitted During Electoral Roll Revision
Several Indian states, including Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal, have launched special drives to enroll eligible voters omitted during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. These campaigns allow voters left out or newly eligible to submit Form-6 for inclusion, with Booth Level Officers conducting door-to-door verification and organizing special camps. Election authorities have published lists of removed or reclassified voters, enabling verification and objections. The drives aim to update and ensure accuracy in voter registration ahead of upcoming elections.
