  • The primary objective of the SIR is the purification of voter lists to ensure accuracy and integrity.
  • The process is grounded in Article 326 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to universal adult suffrage.
  • The exercise involves 31,892 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) tasked with mapping approximately 2.64 crore voters.
  • As of the report, 82% of voter mapping has been completed.
  • The ECI has established procedures for overseas voters, allowing them to submit forms online with passport details, provided a family member in India verifies the relationship.
