Chandigarh, July 11
SIR Punjab camps: Punjab has digitised over one crore Enumeration Forms within just 16 days of launching its house-to-house enumeration drive under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Anindita Mitra announced here.
The state has also achieved 99.34 per cent distribution of Enumeration Forms across all households (near-universal outreach in under three weeks) with 24,453 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) covering 2,14,61,043 electors across 117 assembly constituencies.
Mitra credited the milestone to the on-ground efforts of BLOs, Supervisors, Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) and Electoral Registration Officers (E ROs) deployed across the state since June 25.

Special SIR camps today and tomorrow — what voters need to know
SIR Punjab camps: To accelerate the final phase of the enumeration drive, the state has organised two-day special camps at all polling stations across Punjab on July 11 and 12, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Voters can use these camps to submit pending Enumeration Forms, get linkage discrepancies and anomalies in their voter records resolved, and verify or update their electoral details.
The camps are particularly important for voters who may face what officials are calling “linkage discrepancies”: cases where a voter’s name, or their parents’ names, cannot be traced to the 2003 electoral rolls that the Election Commission of India uses as a baseline for the SIR exercise. Such voters are advised to carry identity documents to the camp.
To find your polling station, visit voters.eci.gov.in and search by your EPIC (voter ID) number.

Draft electoral rolls will be published on August 3, after which voters will have until September 2 to file claims and objections. The final electoral rolls will be published on October 1, 2026.
SIR Punjab camps: Mitra reiterated that no eligible voter will be left out of the draft rolls. Voters whose forms are not collected during the enumeration phase will receive a formal notice during the claims and objections period and will be given an opportunity to establish their eligibility before the Electoral Registration Officer.
ABOUT SIR
Starting June 25, government officials called Booth Level Officers (BLOs) began knocking on doors across every constituency in Punjab. Their job: verify that your name is on the voter list, hand you a pre-printed form with your existing details, and collect it back once filled.
This is the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls — a massive, nationwide exercise ordered by the Election Commission of India (ECI) to clean up and update India’s voter lists. Punjab is part of SIR Phase III, which covers 16 states and 3 Union Territories announced by the ECI on May 14, 2026.
The exercise will run till July 24. Draft voter rolls will be published on August 3, and the final rolls on October 1, 2026. The ECI updates voter rolls every year, but a Special Intensive Revision is a different — and far more thorough — exercise.
