New Delhi, Nov 21 (IANS) The Election Commission of India (ECI) has registered significant progress in the second phase of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2025 with 98.93 per cent distribution of enumeration forms (EF) in 12 states and union territories.
According to the daily bulletin issued at 3 pm on Friday, the nationwide EF distribution has reached 98.93 per cent, reflecting strong regional mobilization of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and active participation of Booth Level Agents (BLAs).
During the ongoing counting phase, which runs from November 4 to December 4, a total of 50.43 crore EFs have already been distributed among the eligible 50.97 crore voters.
Although digitization is lagging behind distribution efforts, 13.64 crore forms have been digitized so far – showing an overall digitization rate of 26.77 percent.
Goa and Lakshadweep have recorded 100 per cent EF delivery, followed by Andaman and Nicobar at 99.98 per cent, Madhya Pradesh at 99.79 per cent, West Bengal at 99.74 per cent and Gujarat at 99.63 per cent.
Uttar Pradesh, the largest state by voter size, has achieved 99.57 per cent distribution covering more than 15.37 crore voters.
Puducherry with 94.97 per cent, Tamil Nadu (95.58 per cent) and Kerala (97.10 per cent) reported the lowest EF distribution among the 12 regions assessed.
In terms of digitalization, Lakshadweep leads with 61.30 percent, followed by Goa with 59.81 percent and Rajasthan with 54.26 percent.
Kerala has recorded the least digitization progress with only 6.81 per cent, followed by Uttar Pradesh at 9.21 per cent.
The commission said recognized political parties have been urged to appoint more booth level agents to expedite verification and digitization.
The ECI press note said the Rajasthan figures do not include Anta assembly constituency, where the revision was postponed due to by-elections.
As the amendment process moves towards the December 4 deadline, the ECI will continue to issue scheduled bulletins.
