Overview
- Enumeration for the Special Intensive Revision starts November 4 across 12 states and UTs, with draft rolls on December 9 and final rolls due February 7, 2026.
- The Election Commission told the Madras High Court the exercise is a de novo roll, requiring every registered voter to submit an enumeration form with door-to-door verification by BLOs.
- Voters need not attach documents unless details mismatch existing records, while first-time voters and migrants must file a declaration with age and identity proof.
- Assam is not included in this phase due to a separate, Supreme Court–supervised citizenship verification; a schedule there will follow later.
- DMK’s petition asks the Supreme Court to quash the June 24 and October 27 ECI orders, calling SIR a de facto NRC and citing Bihar’s reported 65–68 lakh deletions as a cautionary precedent, with court listings pending this week and related Madras High Court cases set for November 13.
