ECI Appoints Special Observers For Electoral Roll Revision in 8 States
The SROs will conduct meetings with the state level and district level leadership of all the national and state political parties
New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has appointed Special Roll Observers (SROs) for observing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
The ECI said these SROs have already begun their work and are expected to be present two days a week in these States until the final Electoral Rolls are published in February 2026.
The SROs will conduct meetings with the state level and district level leadership of all the national and state political parties.
SROs will also attend meetings with the CEOs and DEOs of the States either physically or virtually to ensure that the entire process is completed in a smooth, transparent and participatory manner. “SROs will observe the process of SIR so that no eligible elector is left out and no ineligible person is included in the Electoral Rolls,” ECI said.
