EC orders Special Summary Revision of voter lists in 17 states amid SIR dispute
The Election Commission has announced a Special Summary Revision of electoral rolls across 17 states, amid an ongoing row over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. A summary revision mainly adds newly eligible voters and handles routine corrections. The SIR, by contrast, involves statewide house-to-house checks, detailed scrutiny of entries and large-scale data audits. Under the SIR, Booth Level Officers physically verify whether voters still live at their registered addresses and whether new eligible residents exist, rather than relying on voters to file updates themselves.
