আপনি কি SIR ফর্মটি পূরণ করতে চান?
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is a dedicated nationwide exercise conducted by the Election Commission of India to update, correct, and modernize the voter list. During this period, eligible citizens, new voters, or those who missed earlier cycles can fill out a digital SIR Enumeration Form to add or update electoral details.
✅ What is the SIR (Enumeration) Form?
The SIR form, officially known as the Enumeration Form, is used exclusively during the Special Intensive Revision period. It is similar to Form 6, Form 8, and other electoral forms but is specially designed for a focused, time-bound voter list update exercise.
During SIR, you may use the enumeration form to:
✔ Add a New Voter
If you are 18 years or older (or will turn 18 by the qualifying date), you can register as a new voter.
✔ Update Personal Details
You can correct:
- Name spelling
- Gender
- Date of birth or age
- Father’s/relative’s name
- Photograph
- Address
✔ Shift Voter Registration
If you have moved to another constituency or state, you can submit your SIR form to shift your voter registration.
✔ Remove Duplicate or Incorrect Entries
Sometimes names appear twice in the roll due to migration, technical errors, or previous submissions. SIR allows you to fix these issues.
✔ Merge Electoral Records
If two records exist for a single elector, BLO/CEO officers may merge them based on your request.
Where You Fill the SIR Form:
You can submit this form online using:
- ECI Voter Services Portal
- State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Website
- Mobile voter services apps (in some states)
Although portal designs may differ, the core procedure — filling, uploading documents, OTP verification, and final submission — remains the same across India.
✅ Before You Start – Complete Checklist
| Required Item | Why You Need It |
|---|---|
| Mobile number linked with EPIC | For OTP verification and status updates |

Important Notes:

✅Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Is the SIR form free to submit?
Yes. Submission is 100% free. Never pay anyone for online voter registration.
Q2. Can someone else fill the SIR form for me?
No. Since OTP and e-sign are required, the elector should fill the form themselves.
However, a BLO may help with a paper form if necessary.
Q3. How long does it take for my name to appear in the electoral roll?
This varies by state.
Your application will appear first in the Draft Roll, then after objections end, the updated information will appear in the Final Roll.
Q4. Is Aadhaar mandatory for SIR?
Aadhaar is optional, not compulsory.
But Aadhaar e-sign may speed up verification.
Q5. What if I don’t have documents?
You can still apply. BLO will conduct physical verification and may accept self-declaration.
Q6. Can I update only my mobile number through SIR?
Some states provide “Update Mobile Number” inside the voter services portal.
Use that if available.
Q7. What if my mobile number is not linked with my voter ID?
You must contact your BLO to update or link it.
Some portals allow mobile updates via OTP + ID proof.
Q8. Do I need to print the SIR form?
No. Online submission is paperless.
Print only if BLO specifically requests it.
