In Odisha, a significant door-to-door survey for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls has commenced, involving over 45,000 booth-level officers (BLOs). This initiative began on May 30 and will run until June 28, covering all 147 assembly segments in the state. Chief Electoral Officer R S Gopalan stated that nearly 75% of electors will only need to sign forms, eliminating the need for additional documentation. He emphasized that no genuine citizen would encounter difficulties during the process. The BLOs have successfully mapped around 95% of voters based on the 2002 electoral roll, the last revision conducted in Odisha. Officers will conduct surveys daily before 11 am and again from 3 pm to 5 pm to mitigate the impact of the ongoing heatwave. The survey aims to collect personal details and verify entries, ensuring that no eligible voter is excluded. The draft electoral roll is set to be published on July 5, with the final list expected by September 6.
