Election Commission to Roll Out SIR Nationwide After Supreme Court Approval

In a swift follow-up to the Supreme Court’s supportive remarks, the Election Commission filed two affidavits confirming its plan to implement the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise throughout the country. The decision, the EC said, aligns with its constitutional responsibility to keep electoral rolls up to date. While the full rollout schedule is yet to be shared, the process will begin with Bihar. The move aims to clean up voter lists and ensure only eligible citizens are registered ahead of general and assembly elections.
