ECI launches phase III of Special Intensive Revision across 16 States, 3 UTs

New Delhi, May 14 (UNI) The Election Commission of India on Thursday announced the launch of Phase III of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across 16 States and three union Territories, covering nearly 36.74 crore electors as part of one of the country’s largest voter verification exercises ahead of upcoming elections.
In a press note, the poll panel said the exercise would be conducted through extensive house-to-house verification by Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and with the participation of political parties through Booth Level Agents (BLAs). “The Commission considers the Special Intensive Revision a participative exercise and requests all political parties to appoint BLAs for each polling booth to ensure transparency and full participation,” the ECI said.
According to the Commission, the revision drive will be carried out in all parts of the country except Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, where the schedule would be announced later. The ECI said the deferment was necessitated due to the ongoing Census Phase-II activities and weather conditions in snow-bound regions.
