Tag: Special Intensive Revision

The Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls 2026 is underway in Rajnandgaon, with the Mayor directing officials to speed up form collection and ensure no eligible voter is excluded. Commissioner Atul Vishwakarma conducted a ward-wise review and instructed staff to intensify door-to-door efforts, prepare lists of deceased and migrated voters, and complete the process within the deadline.

In a symbolic and unprecedented gesture, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath personally filled out his Special Intensive Revision (SIR) form, becoming the first citizen to complete the process under the state’s massive land record correction drive. His move aims to inspire officials and residents alike to participate in the campaign, which seeks to eliminate decades-old errors in revenue documents and ensure rightful ownership for every landholder across the state.

India’s voter list revision has reignited the citizenship debate after a man’s name was struck off despite having Aadhaar and voter ID. The Bombay High Court’s ruling that such documents do not prove citizenship has intensified the controversy, with Rahul Gandhi accusing the Election Commission of “vote chori” and targeting marginalized communities. While the BJP defends the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) as crucial for electoral integrity, critics warn of disenfranchisement risks, making the issue a flashpoint ahead of upcoming elections.
