Overview
- Senior Election Commission officials began a three-day assessment in Tamil Nadu to inspect field work, digitisation and voter awareness for the Special Intensive Revision that runs to December 4.
- Official data show 50.47 crore enumeration forms distributed across 12 states and UTs (99.02% of target) with only 39.29% digitised as of November 23, reflecting sharp state-wise variation.
- Uttar Pradesh authorities registered FIRs against over 60 Booth Level Officers and seven supervisors in Noida for alleged non-compliance, and suspended two BLOs in Bahraich for refusing SIR duties.
- BLO groups in West Bengal planned a Kolkata march on Monday over workload and process lapses, with organisers alleging illness cases and at least two suicides and urging deadline relief.
- Actor Vijay’s TVK petitioned the Supreme Court to quash the SIR in Tamil Nadu, as Congress leaders decried the drive citing media reports of 16 BLO deaths, while the ECI reiterated operational guidance and the December 4 application cutoff.
