Working towards the smooth conduct of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) scheduled in the state of Punjab, the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Punjab, on Monday organised a state-level training program for officials related to the election process. Inaugurating the training program, Chief Electoral Officer Mrs. Anindita Mitra said that the House to House Enumeration Phase of SIR is to start across the state from June 25, 2026 and there is a need to understand all instructions, procedures and processes fully.
She added that this would facilitate proper training to the staff working at the ground level to carry out this task smoothly. She said that the role of the BLO and ERO during SIR is of the utmost importance. She added that everyone must make a collective effort so that no voter or employee has to face any trouble.
She directed all the DEOs and EROs of the state to personally supervise the training programs being held in their respective areas regarding the Special Intensive Revision Program so that every query of the staff working at the ground level regarding the SIR process could be resolved. She said that the better the training provided to the BLOs, the smoother the entire process will be.
Mrs. Anindita Mitra said that all the political parties of the state of Punjab have been apprised about SIR and they have been requested to cooperate in carrying out this process in a transparent manner. She instructed the officers to ensure that no eligible persons vote is wrongly deleted and, at the same time, the vote of an ineligible person not be included .
