SIR exercise
LUCKNOW: The draft electoral rolls for special intensive revision (SIR) in Uttar Pradesh will be published on Jan 6, 2026 instead of the earlier scheduled date of Dec 31, UP chief electoral officer Navdeep Rinwa announced on Tuesday. From the same day, voters will be able to file claims and objections, with the window remaining open until Feb 6. During this period, citizens can request corrections, additions, or deletions to ensure that their voter information is accurate. Election commission will begin issuing notices, examining SIR forms, and resolving all claims and objections from Jan 6 to Feb 27. This phase is crucial for verifying voter details and addressing discrepancies to ensure transparency and accuracy in the electoral process. Once all revisions are completed, the final updated electoral roll for the state will be published on March 6. The revised schedule aims to provide sufficient time for citizens to verify their details and for authorities to conduct a thorough review, an official said.
