Hyderabad, India – In a significant step towards improving election administration, Chief Election Commissioner of India, Gyanesh Kumar, has endorsed Telangana as the next phase for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll. The announcement was made during his address to booth-level officers (BLOs) in Hyderabad on December 21.
Kumar stated that the state of Telangana is on the brink of setting a national example in the SIR process, which aims at comprehensive voter list purification and ensuring accuracy and transparency in electoral rolls.
