The Election Commission of India announced a focused campaign across twenty states to incorporate voters left out of the Supplementary Electoral Roll (SIR).
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has unveiled a dedicated campaign aimed at correcting gaps in the voter database. The initiative targets names that were omitted from the Supplementary Electoral Roll (SIR) during the recent enrolment exercise.
The drive will be rolled out in twenty states, with the commission coordinating with state election officers to verify and add the missing entries. Officials will conduct field verification and update the electoral rolls accordingly.
By addressing these omissions, the ECI seeks to ensure that all eligible citizens are able to exercise their franchise in upcoming elections. The commission emphasized that an accurate voter list is essential for the credibility of the electoral process.
The campaign is expected to run over the next few weeks, with periodic progress reports to be released by the commission.
