New Delhi, July 26 -- The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is being carried out in phases across the country to ensure that electoral rolls are accurate, up-to-date and free of ineligible or duplicate entries, while ensuring that no eligible elector is left out.

According to the Press Note of the Election Commission of India (ECI), the SIR was first undertaken in Bihar ahead of the 2025 State Legislative Assembly elections.

The exercise involved house-to-house enumeration by Booth Level Officers (BLOs), distribution and collection of enumeration forms, publication of a draft electoral roll, a specific period for filing claims and objections, and publication of the final electoral roll after due verification.
