The Election Commission of India has announced a new deadline for the Special Incremental Revision of voter rolls in Andhra Pradesh and Meghalaya, urging officials to check the revised dates.
New Delhi – The Election Commission of India (EC) issued a notice extending the deadline for the Special Incremental Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Meghalaya. The extension comes after the original schedule proved insufficient for completing the verification and updating processes required under the SIR framework.
The EC’s directive asks state election officials to adhere to the newly announced timelines, which will be communicated through official channels. The commission emphasized that the revision is crucial for ensuring that the voter list reflects recent demographic changes, including new voters and address updates.
Stakeholders, including political parties and civil society groups, have been urged to monitor the revised schedule closely to avoid any disruption to upcoming electoral activities. The EC reiterated its commitment to maintaining an accurate and up‑to‑date electoral roll ahead of future elections.
The announcement aligns with the commission’s broader effort to modernise voter registration and improve the integrity of the electoral process across India.
