The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is set to begin across Odisha from April 1, according to Chief Electoral Officer R. Santhagopalan. The revision aims to update voter records, remove duplicate and ineligible entries, and include eligible voters who may have been left out.
Preparatory work, including mapping and groundwork, is already underway to ensure smooth implementation. Citizens have been requested to verify their information in the 2002 SIR list and report any discrepancies to election authorities.
The revision exercise is part of efforts to maintain transparency, accuracy, and fairness in the electoral process ahead of upcoming elections. The Election Department has appealed to voters to actively participate in the verification process to help create an error-free electoral database.
