Special Intensive Revision
SIR- by the Election Commission of India
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is an important drive conducted by the Election Commission of India to ensure that the electoral roll (voter list) is accurate, updated, and inclusive. It allows eligible citizens to register as voters, correct details, or remove duplicate/incorrect entries.
विशेष सखोल पुनरावलोकन (SIR) ही भारतीय निवडणूक आयोगाद्वारे राबवली जाणारी एक महत्त्वाची मोहीम आहे, ज्याद्वारे मतदार यादी अचूक, अद्ययावत आणि सर्वसमावेशक असल्याची खात्री केली जाते. यामुळे पात्र नागरिकांना मतदार म्हणून नोंदणी करण्याची, तपशील दुरुस्त करण्याची किंवा दुबार/चुकीच्या नोंदी काढून टाकण्याची संधी मिळते.
📌 What is SIR?
SIR is a time-bound revision process carried out before elections. During this period, officials verify voter details through field visits and public participation to maintain a fair electoral system.
एसआयआर (SIR) ही निवडणुकांपूर्वी राबवली जाणारी एक कालबद्ध पुनरावलोकन प्रक्रिया आहे. या कालावधीत, निष्पक्ष निवडणूक प्रणाली राखण्यासाठी अधिकारी प्रत्यक्ष भेटी आणि सार्वजनिक सहभागाद्वारे मतदारांच्या तपशिलाची पडताळणी करतात.
