The Election Commission of India (ECI) launched SIR on November 4, 2025, ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections, distributing over 7.64 crore enumeration forms to verify voter details door-to-door. By November 27, 82.91% of forms (6.35 crore) were digitized, with matching against prior records revealing the 26 lakh mismatch. Voters must submit documents for verification by the December 4 deadline, or risk deletion; draft rolls publish December 9, final on February 7, 2026

Deletion and progress

So far, 28 lakh names were deleted, including 9 lakh deceased, with later updates identifying 15.53 lakh to 18.70 lakh dead voters and 13-14 lakh “uncollectible” forms (due to duplicates, absentees, shifts, or deaths). Counting and digitization continue, with ECI estimating up to 35 lakh total deletions; 99.8% of voters covered. A review meeting occurred November 28, and figures may rise as remaining forms.
