Chief Electoral Officer Dr. B. V. R. C. Purushottam reviewed the progress of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) with District Magistrates through video conference. More than 19 lakh enumeration forms had been distributed across Uttarakhand within the first three days. Champawat, Almora and Pithoragarh were appreciated for their strong progress, while Dehradun, Nainital and Udham Singh Nagar were directed to accelerate form distribution.

The CEO emphasised the need to reach voters effectively, particularly in urban areas, through residential colonies, public places, IT volunteers working with BLOs and Booth Awareness Groups. He also stressed active public participation and wider awareness to ensure that eligible voters are reached and the SIR process is completed smoothly.
