What Is SIR and Why Does It Matter?
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is a comprehensive door-to-door voter verification drive conducted by the ECI to clean up the electoral rolls before elections — removing deceased, duplicate, and shifted voters while ensuring every eligible citizen is included.
The 2026 SIR is particularly significant for West Bengal: the Draft Electoral Roll published on December 16, 2025, removed approximately 58 lakh names for reasons including death, migration, and duplication — making it one of the largest voter roll revisions in the state’s history.
Three Categories in the Final List — You Must Know This
The roll published on February 28 categorizes voters into three groups: Approved, Deleted, or Under Adjudication. If your name is marked “Under Adjudication,” you cannot cast your vote until a supplementary list officially clears your status — with judicial officers appointed by the Supreme Court still verifying documents.
How to Check Your Name — Step by Step
Visit the official voters.eci.gov.in portal and search using your EPIC number (Voter ID) or personal details. The list is available online from around 2 PM on February 28, and can be downloaded as a PDF booth-wise for your specific polling station.
Name missing? File Form 6 (new inclusion) or Form 8 (correction) through the Voters’ Service Portal, or contact your local Booth Level Officer (BLO) immediately.
