C
Explanation
Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is a comprehensive exercise undertaken by the Election Commission of India (ECI) to verify and update electoral rolls. Unlike the annual Special Summary Revision (SSR), which is primarily based on claims and objections, SIR involves a more rigorous house-to-house enumeration and verification process conducted by Booth Level Officers (BLOs).
- Objectives: The primary goal is to ensure the accuracy of voter lists by removing the names of deceased, permanently shifted, or duplicate voters, and including eligible citizens who were previously omitted.
- Legal Basis: The ECI exercises this power under Article 324 of the Constitution and Section 21 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950.
- Context: This process is typically initiated before major elections or when significant data quality issues are identified, as seen in recent drives in states like Bihar and West Bengal.
