ECI Extends SIR Deadline by One Week Amid Opposition Concern over BLO Fatalities
The extension delays draft electoral rolls to Dec 16 and final lists to Feb 14, 2026, allowing voters more time for verification in 12 states and UTs, Election Commission said.
- The Election Commission of India extended the Special Intensive Revision by one week across 12 states and Union Territories, allowing voters to submit forms to Booth Level Officers until December 11.
- Launched nationally in November, the Special Intensive Revision exercise aims to update rolls with reference to January 1, 2026, as the Election Commission of India extends the deadline to include voters who missed earlier submissions.
- The draft electoral roll will now be published on December 16, 2025, and the final voters' list will be released on February 14, 2026, instead of February 7.
- Election officials must finish health checks and secure publication clearance, while the Election Commission of India has doubled Booth Level Officers' pay and raised supervisors' remuneration.
- Pramod Tiwari said the extension shows the EC realises the exercise cannot be completed in such a short time and urged following the 2003 schedule ahead of December 1.
