Gujarat is making rapid progress in its Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with over 2.17 crore citizens mapped and 3.9 crore enumeration forms distributed. The SIR exercise, which began on November 4, aims to ensure that eligible citizens are included in the electoral rolls and ineligible ones are excluded. According to officials, the enumeration phase will continue until December 4, with over 50,000 booth-level officers (BLOs) covering nearly 5 crore voters across the state. These BLOs will visit houses in their allotted areas three times to ensure no one is left out of the revision process. The objective of the SIR is to introduce transparency in the process of adding or deleting electors from the electoral rolls. The exercise is being led by the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Gujarat Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Hareet Shukla. A total of 5.08 crore voters are registered in the state, with over 2.17 crore citizens already mapped. The draft electoral rolls will be published on December 9, followed by a claims and objections phase until January 8, 2026. Final voter lists are expected to be published on February 7.
