Pan-India SIR: EC to hold presser on Monday evening

New Delhi: The Election Commission is likely to announce pan-India Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters’ list on Monday evening, officials said.

While the invite only mentions that the EC would hold a press conference at 4.15 pm, the officials said it is about intensive revision of electoral rolls.

The poll authority is likely to announce the first phase of SIR in which 10 to 15 states will be covered, including those going to Assembly polls in 2026.

Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Kerala, Assam and Puducherry are scheduled to go to polls next year.
