Rigorous Verification and Field Inspections
The Special Intensive Revision was conducted under Phase-III following directives from the Election Commission of India (ECI), starting on June 25, 2026. The process involved a meticulous house-to-house enumeration strategy.
During the critical claims and objections phase, the administration maintained high scrutiny. Key actions included:
- Extensive Inspections: 19 Roll Observers, District Election Officers (DEOs), and the CEO conducted field inspections and super-checking.
- Discrepancy Management: Notices were issued to 35,49,036 electors regarding unmapped records or data discrepancies.
- Ineligibility Checks: Following village-level verifications and formal hearings, 86,038 electors were marked ineligible through speaking orders.
Punjab Chief Electoral Officer Anindita Mitra expressed her gratitude to the electorate, Booth Level Officers (BLOs), and political parties. She specifically lauded the efforts of the 89,395 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) who worked across the state to facilitate the exercise.
Enhanced Accessibility and Voter Outreach
To make voting more convenient, the state has undertaken polling station rationalisation. This effort has increased the total number of polling stations from 24,453 to 25,332 across all districts.
The CEO also highlighted the success of the Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) initiatives. These programs aimed to engage young and first-time voters through:
- Human chains and multi-channel media campaigns.
- Registration camps held in schools and colleges.
- Special booth-level camps to ensure maximum participation.
