Haryana Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) A Sreenivas on Thursday said the Election Commission (EC) has issued the schedule for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The SIR will be conducted between June 15 and July 14, and the final electoral roll will be published on September 22.
Sreenivas was addressing a press conference at New Haryana Civil Secretariat, Sector 17, Chandigarh.
He said that if Enumeration Forms are not returned, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) may identify probable reasons such as “Absent,” “Shifted,” “Dead,” or “Duplicate” after inquiring with neighbours and record them accordingly. BLOs have been directed to visit each such household at least three times to collect the forms.
Booth-wise lists of electors whose names are not included in the draft roll will be displayed on the notice boards of the Electoral Registration Officer, Panchayat Bhawans, Urban Local Body offices, and the offices of Block Development and Panchayat Officers to ensure public access along with probable reasons for non-inclusion.
The commission has directed all CEOs to consolidate these lists and upload them to the CEO’s website in an accessible format, with similar lists on the websites of respective District Election Officers (DEOs).
During house-to-house enumeration, BLOs must carry at least 30-40 blank Form 6 applications and blank Declaration Forms to facilitate the enrolment of new electors. The CEO urged political parties to appoint Booth Level Agents (BLA-1 and BLA-2). So far, the CEO’s office has received details of 14,520 BLAs: 6,438 from BJP, 7,704 from INC, 165 from the CPI(M), and the rest from other parties. BLAs may also collect Enumeration Forms from voters and submit them to BLOs.
Replying to a question, Sreenivas said the last SIR in Haryana was conducted in 2002. Enumeration Forms can be downloaded from the official website from June 15, 2026. He added that a dedicated helpline, 1950, has been set up at all district headquarters and in constituencies. The helpline will operate in two shifts from 7 am to 9 pm.
He clarified that if a voter is not present during the house-to-house survey, any adult family member may sign Enumeration Form and submit it to the BLO.
The CEO said Haryana has approximately 18% logical errors in electoral data, including incorrect names and spelling mistakes, which is high compared with other states. As of May 21, Haryana has 20,652,760 registered electors and 20,629 polling stations.
He said electoral mapping of 13,251,717 electors has been completed so far, accounting for 64.16% of the total electorate. Fatehabad leads with 86.56% mapping, followed by Charkhi Dadri with 82.36%, and Sirsa with 80.82%.
Sreenivas said all Deputy Commissioners-cum-District Election Officers have been directed to ensure BLOs have access to high-rise and gated societies, particularly in Faridabad, Gurugram, Sonepat, and Panchkula.
He reiterated that there would be no undue pressure on officials engaged in SIR work and that the exercise would be conducted smoothly. As per EC instructions to Chief Secretaries of states, no post designated as DEO, Electoral Registration Officer (ERO), or Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO) shall remain vacant. Further, no official associated with the SIR exercise shall be transferred without prior approval of the commission.
