Why SIR Needs to Be Completed?
SIR has been introduced to improve the quality of the electoral roll and ensure the correctness of voter details.
Reasons why SIR is important:
As per law, electoral rolls must be revised before every election or as required.
Political parties have recently raised concerns about the quality and accuracy of electoral rolls.
SIR has been conducted only 8 times between 1951 and 2004.
The last SIR was conducted more than 21 years ago (2002–2004).
Major changes in electoral profiles have occurred due to:
- Frequent migration of citizens
- Voters getting registered in more than one place
- Non-removal of deceased voters
- Wrongful inclusion of foreigners
Every elector in India must complete the SIR process.
The Enumeration Form can be submitted both online and offline through the BLO (Booth Level Officer).
The online method is the simplest, but the mobile number must be linked with the elector’s EPIC (Voter ID).
If the mobile number is not linked, you must first fill Form 8 to link your mobile number with EPIC.
