SIR: No documents needed during house-to-house enumeration process, says Karnataka Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer

The door-to-door enumeration phase of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Karnataka commenced on June 30, 2026.

Presented by the Election Commission of India (ECI) as an exercise to prepare a ‘pure’, ‘accurate’, and ‘inclusive’ electoral roll, SIR has become one of the most debated electoral exercises in recent years.

Electoral rolls are ordinarily updated through the routine Summary Revision process, where voters apply to enrol, correct details, change their address, or remove the names of deceased family members.
