SIR door-to-door survey gets rolling in Haryana today
Chandigarh, June 15 -- Haryana chief electoral officer (CEO) A Sreenivas on Sunday said in line with the directions of the Election Commission (EC), the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will start in the state from June 15.
Booth-level officers (BLOs) will conduct door-to-door verification of voters and collect enumeration forms from June 15 to July 14. Addressing a press conference, the CEO said the last large-scale house-to-house voter verification exercise in the state was conducted in 2002. "The objective of the campaign is to ensure that every eligible citizen is included in the electoral roll to update records relating to deceased or shifted voters, and to make the voter list more accurate, transparent, and error-free," he said.
The CEO said Haryana has 20,655,929 registered voters and 20,629 polling stations have been established.
He said the BLOs have been appointed at all polling stations and will visit every household to verify voter details. The enumeration form provided to voters must be duly filled, signed, and returned to the BLO.
"As per the EC directions, voters whose completed forms are not received will be excluded from the draft electoral roll," CEO said, adding that BLOs will make at least three attempts to contact each household.
If family members are unavailable, the BLO will place the enumeration form under the door and leave a notice containing their name and mobile number, enabling the voter concerned to contact them.
The citizens who attain the age of 18 years on July 1, 2026, will also be eligible to apply for inclusion in the electoral roll.
Sreenivas stated that the draft electoral roll will be published on July 21, 2026. Thereafter, claims and objections will be accepted from July 21 to August 20, and all such cases will be disposed of by September 18.
The final electoral roll will be published on September 22, 2026, he said.
Appealing to all recognised political parties to appoint booth level agents at every polling station, the CEO said that this will further strengthen transparency and fairness in the revision process. He urged citizens to fully cooperate with BLOs, fill the enumeration forms accurately, sign them, and submit them on time to ensure that their names remain securely included in the electoral roll....
