Under the SIR process, booth-level officials go door-to-door to verify the identity of those listed in the electoral roll, determining whether the person is still living there.

When was the first SIR conducted in the country?

The first official SIR in India was conducted between 2002 and 2004. This was a huge undertaking at the time, as the electoral rolls were riddled with errors. In many states, millions of names were duplicated or incorrectly listed due to outdated data. In 2003, a major reform drive was also implemented in Bihar. Hence the Election Commission has now started a new SIR in 2025.

Why is SIR necessary?

Over time, various errors occur in electoral rolls. Some people are registered twice in the same place, some people’s names remain in their old places even after moving, some people’s names are misspelled and many people remain on the list even after death. The Election Commission conducts SIRs to correct such discrepancies, so that the electoral roll is completely accurate and fair the next time elections are held.
