What is Special Intensive Revision (SIR)?
A Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is a comprehensive verification exercise conducted by the Election Commission to update the electoral roll.
Unlike routine voter list revisions, SIR involves physical verification through Booth Level Officers (BLOs) who visit every household to verify voter information and collect Enumeration Forms.
The main objective is:
“No eligible citizen is left out while no ineligible person is included in the Electoral Roll.”
Why is Delhi Conducting SIR in 2026?
According to the Election Commission, Delhi is carrying out this revision to:
- Include all eligible voters.
- Remove duplicate, deceased, or ineligible entries.
- Update voter information.
- Improve the accuracy of the electoral roll.
- Strengthen transparency before future elections.
