The recent Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in India has significantly reduced the combined electoral rolls by 6.08 crore, bringing the total down to approximately 44.92 crore voters. This revision process, which began on October 27, 2022, has now been completed in 12 states and Union territories, including Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Tamil Nadu. The final electoral rolls were published following the completion of the SIR exercise, which has been closely monitored by the Election Commission (EC). The remaining 40 crore electors in 17 states and five Union territories will undergo the SIR process after the upcoming assembly elections. Additionally, political parties have contested the SIR in states like Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, leading to legal challenges in the Supreme Court. The SIR aims to ensure accurate and updated electoral rolls across the country.
