The Haryana Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has announced that a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will begin across the state from June 15, aimed at updating voter lists and ensuring greater accuracy ahead of future elections.
According to election officials, the revision exercise will focus on identifying eligible voters, removing duplicate and deceased entries, correcting errors, and including newly eligible citizens who have attained the age of 18 years. The initiative is part of the Election Commission's ongoing efforts to maintain clean and transparent electoral rolls.
The CEO stated that Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will conduct field verification and assist voters in updating their details. Citizens will be able to submit applications for inclusion, deletion, correction, or transfer of names through both online and offline modes. Special camps are also expected to be organized at designated polling stations to facilitate the process.
Officials have urged residents to verify their names and details in the electoral rolls during the revision period. Particular attention will be given to first-time voters, women, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and voters who have recently changed their place of residence.
The Election Commission emphasized that accurate electoral rolls are essential for conducting free, fair, and transparent elections. Political parties have also been asked to cooperate with election authorities by appointing booth-level agents and assisting in the verification process.
The revision exercise is expected to continue over the coming weeks, with draft rolls being published after the verification process. Citizens will then have an opportunity to file claims and objections before the final electoral rolls are released.
Election officials expressed confidence that the statewide drive will strengthen the electoral process and ensure that every eligible voter in Haryana is able to exercise their democratic right. The Special Intensive Revision beginning on June 15 marks a significant step toward maintaining an updated and error-free voter database across the state.
