Election Commission has said that enumeration under Phase-III of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) began yesterday in Odisha, Mizoram, Sikkim and Manipur. It said that all eligible electors whose Enumeration Forms are received by the Electoral Registration Officer on or before 28th of June will be included in the Draft Electoral Rolls.

 

Further, electors who are unable to submit their Enumeration Forms by the said date may apply through Form 6, along with the prescribed Declaration Form, during the claims and objections period. During the enumeration Phase of SIR, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) conduct house-to-house visits and provide Enumeration Forms to all existing electors.

 

Electors may submit the duly filled form either through the BLO or online. The Commission has allowed Booth Level Agents of recognised political parties to collect up to 50 forms per day from the public, and hand it over to the BLO before the Draft Publication.

 

The Election Commission has requested all eligible electors to participate in the SIR process and cooperate with election officials during the house-to-house visits. The objective of SIR is that no eligible citizen is left out, while no ineligible person is included in the Electoral Roll.
