Overview
- In Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Booth Level Officers began household enumeration on November 4 for a drive running through December 4, with January 1, 2026 set as the eligibility cutoff.
- Madhya Pradesh deployed 65,014 BLOs to distribute and collect forms, link entries to the previous SIR roll, make at least three visits, issue Form 6 to new voters, and seek documents later for unmatched cases.
- Chhattisgarh urged residents to verify entries and offered online submissions via the ECINET app and voters.eci.gov.in, toll-free help at 1950, district and tehsil help desks, and a “Book a Call with BLO” option.
- Oversight includes a planned review by ECI director Shubra Saxena in Bhopal and Sehore, while the Bhopal collector inspected polling booths and checked whether households received assistance.
- The current phase covers 12 states including West Bengal, where SIR has begun and the TMC set up monitoring camps and trained BLAs while alleging the BJP seeks deletions, as the ECI reiterates the exercise verifies voter eligibility, not citizenship.
