Free and fair elections depend on the accuracy of India’s electoral roll. To make sure the voter list remains updated and accurate, the Election Commission of India (ECI) conducts a detailed statewide activity known as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. This large-scale exercise ensures that every eligible voter is included and all incorrect or outdated entries are corrected or removed.
