Delhi’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has started from June 30, with Booth Level Officers (BLOs) beginning the voter verification exercise across the national capital. The process aims to update voter records, remove errors and ensure that eligible citizens remain part of the electoral list. Here is how Delhi residents can check their names online, understand the verification process and know who is eligible.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has launched the SIR exercise to verify and update electoral rolls through a detailed review of voter information. In Delhi, more than 13,000 BLOs are involved in the door-to-door verification process covering registered voters across the city.
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Delhi has also created a dedicated SIR section with details about the schedule, forms, FAQs and other voter-related information.

Unlike routine voter updates, SIR involves a more extensive verification process, including checking existing voter details and collecting updated information wherever required.
