SIR Revision 2025: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has started the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process for the 2025 Voter List. This annual exercise ensures that every eligible citizen’s voter details are accurate, updated, and correctly recorded in the government database.

Through this revision drive, people can check whether their name is included in the 2025 electoral roll, correct any spelling or address errors, add missing information, or download their digital voter ID card (e-EPIC) online.

What is Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and Why It Matters?

The SIR process is conducted before major upcoming elections to:

  • Add new eligible voters

  • Remove outdated records (duplicates, deceased, migrated citizens)

  • Correct errors in existing voter details

Citizens who find mistakes in their name, age, address or gender can request corrections using the SIR application form. Those whose names are missing from the draft electoral roll can apply to include their names through the same process. After verification, the updated details reflect in the final voter list.

An accurate voter list is essential for free, transparent and smooth elections in 2025.
