Jaipur, Oct 29 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Electoral Officer Naveen Mahajan held a meeting with representatives of recognized political parties in Jaipur on Wednesday, where he briefed them about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the Voter List 2026.
He said that the Election Commission of India has announced the schedule of the second phase of SIR, which also includes Rajasthan and the process has started in the state.
Mahajan said Rajasthan has been a pioneer in deploying Booth Level Agents (BLAs) by starting the recruitment process earlier than other states. As a result, Rajasthan has the highest number of BLAs deployed among all the Phase 2 states.
He urged the representatives of all recognized political parties to mandatorily appoint BLAs at the remaining booths to ensure effective coordination and transparency during the voter list revision process.
The Chief Electoral Officer said that after the special revision started, the voter list has been frozen. Previous voter lists can be viewed on the website of the Election Commission of India (voters.eci.gov.in) and the website of the Chief Electoral Officer, Rajasthan (election.rajasthan.gov.in).
He further said that Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will make three rounds of door-to-door visits to collect enumeration forms from voters.
So far, about 70 per cent of voters in Rajasthan have been mapped, and this figure is expected to increase to 85 per cent soon, reducing the need for document submission.
He stressed that to add new names, voters would have to fill Form 6, and warned that submitting false declarations in the enumeration form could lead to fine or imprisonment as per election laws.
Mahajan informed that the SIR process started on October 28, 2025 and will continue till February 7, 2026. Training sessions and printing of forms are scheduled from October 28 to November 3, while booth level officials will conduct door-to-door surveys between November 4 and December 4, 2025.
The draft voter list will be published on December 9, followed by the period for filing claims and objections from December 9, 2025 to January 9, 2026.
Verification of documents will take place till 31 January 2026 and the final voter list will be published on 7 February 2026.
Representatives from the Indian National Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Aam Aadmi Party, Bharat Adivasi Party, and Rashtriya Loktantrik Party were present during the meeting.
