Electoral roll revision in Haryana

The Election Commission of India (ECI) is conducting a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Haryana.
The house-to-house survey by Booth Level Officers (BLOs) has been extended by 10 days until July 24 to ensure maximum voter coverage.
As of July 14, approximately 1.5% of voters had not submitted their enumeration forms.
Total 'uncollectable' forms (deceased, absent, duplicate, or permanently shifted voters) account for 16.15% of the total electorate of 2,06,55,929.
Districts like Faridabad (26.83%), Gurugram (25.67%), and Panchkula (24.53%) report the highest percentages of 'uncollectable' forms.
Urban areas show lower engagement in the survey compared to rural areas, with Gurugram reporting the highest pending submission rate at 8.3%.
The draft electoral roll is scheduled for publication on July 31, with claims and objections accepted until August 30.
The final electoral roll is scheduled for publication on October 3.
