Punjab Electoral Roll Revision Nears Completion: 99.21% Work Done
Punjab CEO Anindita Mitra announces 99.21% completion of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across the state.
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Punjab is in its final stages, with Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Anindita Mitra announcing that 99.21 per cent of the exercise has already been completed across the state.
Eight Districts Achieve 100% Completion
As the state moves closer to finalizing the voter lists, several districts have already hit the finish line. According to the CEO’s office, the following eight districts have successfully completed 100 per cent of the SIR 2026 exercise:
- Moga
- Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar (SBS Nagar)
- Mansa
- Tarn Taran
- Faridkot
- Sangrur
- Patiala
- Malerkotla
In addition to these district-wide successes, the revision process has been fully concluded in 55 of Punjab’s 117 Assembly constituencies.
New Measures to Assist Voters
To ensure that no eligible voter is left out, the election machinery has introduced several measures to make the process seamless. In a significant move to reduce public inconvenience, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will now take a proactive role in document collection.
Instead of requiring electors to travel to the offices of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) for personal hearings or to submit paperwork, BLOs will visit electors directly. This initiative aims to collect necessary documents on the spot for those who have received notices or have pending hearings.
Upcoming Camps and Support Systems
For the constituencies where work is still pending, officials have announced that special camps will be organized over the coming weekend to expedite the remaining tasks.
To further assist the public, help desks have been established at the offices of District Election Officers (DEOs) and EROs throughout Punjab. These desks are designed to address any queries or concerns regarding the electoral rolls immediately.
CEO Anindita Mitra emphasized that the entire election machinery is working in coordination to ensure the process remains smooth, transparent, and timely. She has appealed to all electors to cooperate fully with BLOs and election officials by providing the necessary information and documents to ensure the timely completion of this vital democratic exercise.
