Overview
- Assam’s Special Revision sets house‑to‑house verification for November 22–December 20, a draft roll on December 27, claims and objections through January 22, and a final roll on February 10, 2026.
- Booth‑level officers will verify entries using pre‑filled registers rather than blank forms, with D‑Voter entries carried into the draft rolls unless a tribunal or court changes their status.
- The Commission’s safeguards include photographic checks and replacements, strict documentation for deletions, random audits of at least 10% of deletions, and CEO certification of de‑duplication before final publication.
- A separate Special Intensive Revision continues in 12 states and UTs; Tamil Nadu revenue staff announced a boycott over workload, Chennai opened 947 help centres, and an EC team reached Kolkata to review West Bengal’s progress.
- Kerala has petitioned the Supreme Court to defer the SIR during local‑body polls, the IUML and a Congress MP have also moved the court on SIR, and Congress leaders accused the EC of facilitating ‘vote chori’ in their review meeting.
