The Election Commission of India will announce the schedule for a nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the coming days. The first phase will cover over 10 States, including election-bound Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, and West Bengal.
The Election Commission told the Supreme Court that the Bihar voter list revision ensures election purity by removing ineligible names. It said Aadhaar, voter ID, and ration card are used only for identification, not proof of citizenship.
