The Election Commission of India has launched the last stage of its Systematic Voter Registration (SIR) 2026 drive in Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh. The effort is focused on cleaning the electoral rolls ahead of the next general elections, ensuring that every entry is accurate and up‑to‑date.
Field teams are conducting door‑to‑door verification, cross‑checking voter details against Aadhaar and other government databases. Digital tools are being used to flag duplicate entries, deceased voters and other anomalies, with corrections made in real time.
Officials say the final push is expected to reduce errors significantly, bolstering the credibility of the voting process. A clean roll will also help streamline the issuance of voter ID cards and facilitate smoother polling operations when elections are held.
