EC to Launch 3rd Phase of SIR in April Across 22 States and UTs
The Election Commission announces the third phase of Special Intensive Revision of voter lists across 22 states and UTs, including Delhi and Maharashtra, starting April 2026.
The Election Commission has signaled that the next phase of its Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists will begin in April 2026, covering 22 states and Union Territories. This phase marks the continuation of a nationwide effort to keep voter rolls accurate and up-to-date ahead of upcoming elections.
The third phase follows earlier rounds that began in several states as the commission moves to strengthen the integrity of electoral lists. State officials have been urged to prepare logistics and mobilize resources so the revision process runs smoothly within the designated timeframe.
During SIR, authorities focus on cleaning up lists by removing duplicates, invalid entries, and entries that require verification or updates. Local offices will work with voters to confirm details and ensure that eligible citizens are correctly registered.
States expected to participate include Delhi and Maharashtra, among others, underscoring the nationwide reach of the revision effort. The commission has not yet announced a fixed start date beyond the April 2026 window, but coordination at the state level is expected to guide district-level activities and ensure timely completion.
As the April 2026 window approaches, voters are encouraged to check their details with local electoral offices and stay tuned for official guidance on how to participate in the revision process.
