Maharashtra's SIR Deadline Extended by 10 Days; Know Steps To Submit Enumeration Form Online
Maharashtra has extended its Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls until August 8, due to resource diversions during the Ashadhi Ekadashi Vaari. Citizens can verify or submit their details online via the official Voter Service Portal. The draft voter list is set for release on August 17, with a claims and objections period running through September 16.
The Election Commission of India has extended the deadline for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Maharashtra by ten days. Originally scheduled to conclude on July 29, the house-to-house enumeration process and the collection of enumeration forms will now continue until August 8. The extension follows a request from the Maharashtra State Election Commission, which cited logistical challenges caused by the ongoing Ashadhi Ekadashi Vaari, which diverted significant administrative resources in key regions like Pune, Solapur, and Sangli.
What Is the SIR Enumeration Form?
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is a major initiative by the Election Commission to ensure the accuracy of electoral rolls. The process involves verifying existing voter details and updating the rolls by eliminating duplicate, shifted, or deceased entries.

For the current exercise, the government is using pre-filled forms based on voter data from 2002–2004. Voters are required to verify their details, update their current residential status, and provide necessary personal information to ensure their names remain on the electoral roll.

While the primary mode of collection is through door-to-door visits by Polling Station Level Officers (BLOs), eligible citizens can also participate in the process online. To submit your form digitally, follow these steps:
- Access the Portal: Visit the official Voter Service Portal at voters.eci.gov.in or the Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer’s website.

- Fill the Form: Click on the "Fill Enumeration Form" option. You will need to verify your mobile number via an OTP.
- Aadhaar E-Sign: The process requires Aadhaar-based e-signing. Ensure your Aadhaar number is linked to your mobile number to complete the verification.
- Confirmation: Once submitted, download the receipt for your records.
Key Guidelines for Voters
State electoral officials have emphasised that the primary goal of the SIR is to verify residential status. If you are unable to map your details to older records or lack specific supporting documents at this moment, you are still encouraged to fill in your current personal details and sign the form to ensure your inclusion in the upcoming draft roll.
