Election Commission to Launch Phase Three of Voter List Revision Covering 22 States and UTs

The Election Commission is preparing to launch phase three of its Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters' lists, expected to begin soon. This phase will cover 22 states and Union Territories, updating electoral rolls for nearly 40 crore electors. Earlier phases covered 10 states and three UTs, removing over 60 lakh deceased voters. The rollout was delayed due to recent assembly elections. Once completed, all states and UTs will have updated voter lists.
