History

Historical Context

The Election Commission of India, empowered by Article 324, began a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) Phase-III on 14 May 2026, deploying 3.94 lakh Booth Level Officers to enumerate 36.73 crore voters across 16 states including Karnataka and West Bengal. This follows earlier intensive revisions—annual until 1966 and special revisions from 2002—aimed at removing duplicate entries and improving roll accuracy.
