The Special Incremental Register (SIR) process in Meghalaya has cleared more than 95% of its notice hearings, and officials have announced that the final electoral roll will be published on October 26.
Meghalaya's Special Incremental Register (SIR) exercise, aimed at updating the state's electoral list, has reached an advanced stage as authorities report that over 95% of the required notice hearings have been concluded. The hearings, which allow candidates and stakeholders to raise objections or provide clarifications, are a statutory step before finalising the voter roll.
Election officials said the high completion rate reflects efficient coordination between district electoral officers and the State Election Commission. The remaining hearings are expected to be wrapped up within the next few days, ensuring that all pending objections are addressed before the roll is frozen.
The final electoral roll for Meghalaya is scheduled to be published on October 26. Once released, the list will serve as the definitive register for upcoming local body elections and any subsequent electoral exercises in the state.
The State Election Commission has urged citizens to verify their details once the roll is made public and to report any discrepancies promptly, emphasizing the importance of an accurate voter database for a transparent democratic process.
