Delhi, Maharashtra, 17 other states/UTs in SIR Phase 3: EC announces rollout

More than 3.94 lakh booth-level officers will verify voter rolls in stages, as the commission seeks to remove duplicate names and improve accuracy.

  • On Thursday, the Election Commission of India directed 16 states and three Union Territories to launch Phase-III of the Special Intensive Revision , covering 367.3 million electors across the country.
  • Officials deferred the process in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh due to ongoing Census operations and weather conditions in snow-bound regions, aligning remaining rollouts with house-listing efforts.
  • More than 3.94 lakh Booth Level Officers will conduct house-to-house visits, while 3.42 lakh Booth Level Agents appointed by political parties ensure transparency throughout the enumeration process.
  • The Commission aims to create error-free electoral rolls by removing duplicate names and including all eligible citizens; door-to-door verification drives begin May 30 in Odisha, Mizoram, Sikkim, and Manipur.
  • Verification continues in a staggered schedule through summer and early autumn, with the revision process concluding by October 7, 2026, across remaining states and Union Territories.
