Delhi SIR house visits to start June 30

Booth-level officers (BLOs) will begin house-to-house verification from June 30, as part of the Election Commission of India’s (ECI’s) special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls process in the Capital.

Chief electoral officer (CEO) Ashok Kumar said that all district election officers have been directed to ready their machinery for the exercise. Arrangements for printing enumeration forms, stationery and deploying BLOs and BLO supervisors have already been completed, he said.

“All necessary preparations are being made for smooth conduct of the SIR. District teams have been mobilised and help desks have been established at district and assembly constituency levels to assist voters during the exercise. Apart from the BLOs, we have six political parties in Delhi who have booth-level agents (BLAs) to assist the residents of the area,” Kumar said.
