Overview
- The Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision is underway across 12 states and UTs covering about 51 crore electors, with door-to-door enumeration set for November 4–December 4, draft rolls on December 9, and final rolls due February 7, 2026.
- Uttar Pradesh’s CEO clarified that no documents are required during doorstep distribution and collection of forms; BLOs will make multiple visits, issue receipts, and only voters not linked to earlier rolls will be called for hearings.
- After a suspension warning, all 143 absentee BLOs in West Bengal reported for duty, enabling one BLO per booth across roughly 80,000 polling stations, with special assistance camps opened in recent flood-hit districts.
- State CEO offices have launched multiple voter support channels, including the National Voter Helpline, state and district helplines, a ‘Book‑a‑Call with BLO’ facility, and published BLO contact details to ease queries and submissions.
- Political activity has intensified, with TMC convening a large virtual meet to oversee the process and opposition groups voicing concerns, while Punjab’s pre‑revision mapping found 55% of voters already matched to 2003 rolls and officials expect most may not need to submit documents after verification.
