SIR: Over 1.56 crore voter enumeration forms distributed in Rajasthan

More than 1.56 crore voter enumeration forms have been distributed across Rajasthan so far as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, officials said.

Barmer, Chittorgarh and Alwar districts have reported the highest distribution so far, while nine districts --” Bikaner, Jodhpur, Jhalawar, Hanumangarh, Sirohi, Kota, Balotra, Pali and Jaisalmer --” recorded less than 25 per cent distribution, Chief Electoral Officer Naveen Mahajan said on Saturday. Mahajan directed the district election officers in these regions to intensify efforts and ensure that the distribution percentage rises to at least 35 per cent by Sunday, noting that most voters are expected to be home during the weekend.

The chief election officer added that under the SIR exercise, voters can also fill and submit their enumeration forms online. The Election Commission has provided this facility to make the process more accessible and efficient for public, he added.
