1.82 Lakh Names Deleted During SIR; Indore Opens 3-Day Window For Eligible Voters

In Indore, Madhya Pradesh, eligible voters whose names were deleted during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll now have a three-day chance to correct the error. The District Election Office will conduct a special drive from October 7-9, allowing citizens to add their names back onto the voter list without needing a separate declaration form or submitting Form-6.

This initiative follows earlier deletions of around 1.82 lakh voters during the SIR process, which identified individuals who were absent from the electoral roll. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will be present at all polling stations to assist eligible voters with the inclusion process. Collector and District Election Officer Shivam Verma has called on residents to visit their local polling stations to verify their names on the voter list, and those missing from the list with the necessary eligibility can apply for inclusion by submitting Form-6.

The District Election Officer has specifically encouraged young and newly eligible voters to take advantage of this opportunity by visiting their nearest polling station and completing the required formalities. Political party representatives have been urged to support the campaign by cooperating through their Booth Level Agents to spread awareness about the special drive.

This effort to rectify the electoral roll follows directives from the Chief Electoral Officer during a recent video conference with district election officials.
