Bhubaneswar: The ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Odisha has achieved a significant milestone, with the State Election Commission completing distribution of 97.63 per cent of the targeted forms within just 14 days of the exercise.
According to official sources, forms related to the revision process have so far been distributed to 3,26,08,262 voters across the state, reflecting the extensive reach of the campaign.
To facilitate voter participation, the Election Commission has enabled online access to the forms through its official portal. Eligible voters can download the forms, fill them out and upload the completed documents independently if they choose.
As part of the house-to-house enumeration process, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are providing each voter with two pre-printed enumeration forms (Annexure-III). One duly filled form is collected by the BLO, while the second copy is returned to the voter bearing the BLO’s signature as an acknowledgement receipt for future reference.
The revision exercise is also leveraging modern technology to enhance transparency and accuracy in electoral roll management. Officials said complete details of 58,70,191 voters have already been digitised from the applications received so far.
The digitisation initiative is expected to strengthen election management and streamline future electoral processes by improving the accuracy and accessibility of voter data.
The State Election Commission said all necessary measures have been put in place to ensure that no eligible voter is left out of the revision exercise, which is aimed at maintaining an updated and error-free electoral roll across Odisha.
