શું તમે SIR ફોર્મ ભરવા માંગો છો?
The term SIR commonly refers to Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls in India. During this period, eligible voters who were missed earlier can submit an online enumeration form to add, update, or correct their voter details. This guide explains everything you need to know — eligibility, documents, step-by-step instructions, e-sign/OTP, common errors, troubleshooting, FAQs, and a final checklist — so you can complete the SIR online form confidently and 100% free.
What is the SIR (Enumeration) Form?
The SIR Enumeration Form (sometimes shown as EF, Enumeration Form, or simply SIR Form) is provided during the Special Intensive Revision to:
- Add new voters (similar to Form 6 in normal periods)
- Correct or update name, address, age, gender
- Remove duplicates or merge electoral entries
- Shift voter registration from one constituency to another
You fill and submit this form online through:
- The Election Commission of India (ECI) Voter Services Portal, or
- The State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) website
Most portals require:
✔ Mobile number linked to the voter record (or Aadhaar)
✔ Basic personal details
✔ Supporting documents (if required)
✔ OTP verification or Aadhaar e-sign
Note: The design of the online form may differ slightly from state to state, but the submission process is almost identical everywhere.
✅ Before You Start – Important Checklist
| Required Item | Why You Need It |
|---|---|
| Linked mobile number | For OTP verification and updates |
| Aadhaar number | Needed if the system uses Aadhaar e-sign |
| Passport-size photo | Some portals ask for a photograph |
| ID proof (Aadhaar, Passport, DL) | To establish identity |
| Address proof | Only if the form requests it |
| Email (optional) | For confirmation and follow-up |
⚠ Important: If your mobile number is not linked to your voter ID, you may need to contact your BLO or update it first. Many state portals do not allow online form submission without OTP verification.
✅ 3. Where to Fill the SIR Form Online
1. ECI Voter Services Portal
Used nationwide for registration and updates.
2. State CEO Websites
Many states create a dedicated SIR 2025/2026 page with state-specific SOPs and instructions.
🔒 Caution: Avoid unofficial websites claiming “fast track voter card updates.” Only government portals with gov.in, eci.gov.in, or official state domains are valid.
✅Guide to Filling the SIR Form Online
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Click the Apply Online link for the ECI portal or open your State CEO website → SIR section.
Step 2: Read Instructions
Each state provides a short SOP explaining:

- Required documents
Read this before filling.
Step 3: Select the Correct Form
Choose one of the following options:

Step 6: Complete OTP Verification / e-Sign
The portal may ask for:

Many states keep offline options open during SIR.
