The buzz in Gandhinagar centers on Gujarat’s SIR milestone: over 16.76 lakh forms submitted for voter list tweaks. Breaking it down, 6.88 lakh want in, and 9.88 lakh seek removal, painting a picture of dynamic list management across all assembly segments.
Guided by Election Commission protocols, the drive began October 27 with grassroots verification drives. Draft rolls hit public view December 19, spurring filings until January 30. Booth officers now dissect these via rigorous field probes.
Key focuses: onboarding new adults and movers, while stripping out the dead, doubles, and departed. This dual thrust promises an error-free final publication, enhancing poll credibility.
Gujarat’s SIR stands as a model of proactive governance, inviting citizen input to sculpt accurate rosters. With processes nearing completion, the state eyes a fortified electoral base, ready for whatever elections lie ahead.
