The Special Intensive Revision, SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar, is being implemented smoothly at the ground level with the active cooperation of the electors.

In a statement, the Election Commission informed that the initial phase of SIR is almost complete with the forms having been made available to all the electors who were available.

As of today, over one crore 69 lakh Enumeration Forms have been received. The uploading of forms has also started simultaneously with 7.25% of the forms already uploaded so far.

The poll body reiterated that the Special Intensive Revision is being conducted as per the SIR instructions dated 24th of June and there is no change in the instructions. As per instructions, draft electoral rolls that will be issued on 1st of August, will contain the names of persons whose enumeration forms are received.

The electors can submit their documents any time before 25th of July. After publication of draft Electoral Rolls, if any document is deficient, Electoral Registration Officers can obtain such documents, from the electors whose name appears in the draft Electoral Rolls, during scrutiny in the Claims and Objection period.

As many as 77,895 BLOs are going house-to-house to help the electors fill out their Enumeration Forms and collect them. In a large number of cases, the BLOs are taking live pictures of the electors and uploading them, saving the elector the trouble of getting their pictures clicked.
