SIR Phase II: 99.78 pc enumeration forms distributed across 12 states/UTs

New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday reported significant progress in Phase II of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with 99.78 per cent of Enumeration Forms (EFs) already distributed across 12 states and Union Territories.

According to the Daily Bulletin, the nationwide EF distribution has reflected strong field mobilisation by Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and participation from Booth Level Agents (BLAs).

During the ongoing enumeration phase, which runs from November 4 to December 11 (Earlier the last date was December 4) -- a total of 50.85 crore EFs have already been distributed out of the eligible 50.97 crore electors.

Digitisation of EFs has also picked up in the last few weeks, with 45.94 crore forms digitised so far, marking an overall digitisation rate of 90.14 per cent.

Kerala with 98.96 per cent, Tamil Nadu with 99.45 per cent and Puducherry with 99.65 per cent, are the lowest performers.

In West Bengal, 7.65 crore electors or 99.92 per cent EFs have been distributed. As many as 97.34 per cent EFs have been digitised in the state, said an ECI statement.

The Election Commission noted that recognised political parties have been urged to appoint more Booth Level Agents to accelerate verification and digitisation.

The ECI, in a statement, said that the figures from Rajasthan do not include the Anta Assembly constituency, where the revision was deferred due to a by-election.

The poll body said that it will continue to release scheduled bulletins as the revision process advances towards its December 11 deadline.
