The Election Commission has pushed back the last date for filing SIRs in five states to November 30, while Delhi’s deadline moves to December 22.
The Election Commission of India announced an extension of the deadline for submitting SIRs in five states, moving the final date to 30 November. This decision comes as part of the commission’s effort to ensure that all pending filings are completed before the upcoming electoral schedule.
While the specific states were not listed in the release, the uniform extension applies across all five jurisdictions, giving parties and candidates additional time to meet the statutory requirements.
Delhi, however, will follow a separate timeline, with its SIR deadline now set for 22 December. The staggered dates reflect the commission’s coordination with regional electoral offices to accommodate local administrative calendars.
The extensions are expected to streamline the preparation for forthcoming elections, reducing the risk of procedural delays and ensuring compliance with the commission’s procedural framework.
