District Collector M. Abhishikth Kishore announced on Sunday (June 14, 2026) that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will begin on June 15, with Booth Level Officers (BLOs) conducting house-to-house enumeration until July 14. Enumeration forms, prepared for all electors enrolled by May 25, will be distributed in duplicate, with BLOs guiding electors through the process and retaining one signed copy while issuing the other as an acknowledgment receipt.
If a household is locked, the form will be left behind, with up to three follow-up visits to collect it. Electors also have the option of downloading, filling out, and uploading the form online. Forms collected will be handed over to the Electoral Registration Officer for preparing the Draft Electoral Roll, which is due on July 21. Polling station rationalisation will be completed by July 14, he said.
Electors whose forms are not received, or whose details could not be mapped with the 2002 rolls, will be issued notices by the ERO. The Claims and Objections window will run from July 21 to August 20, with the Final Electoral Roll to be published on September 22.
The Collector stated that the Commission had already conducted BLO training and held meetings with political parties and Electoral Registration Officers to ensure the smooth conduct of the exercise. He urged electors to call the toll-free number 1950 or approach Help Desks at ERO offices or the Collectorate to clear any doubts or queries.
