What is SIR?
For the general information, the Special Intensive Revision or SIR is a voter list verification exercise that the ECI undertakes as it believes that the annual ‘Summary Revision’ is not enough to clean the rolls. The extensive exercise involves house-to-house enumeration, pre-filled forms, online submissions, and fresh verification of old voter data.
The Election Commission is the body which is empowered to conduct SIR whenever it deems fit as per Article 324 of the Indian Constitution.
