The House-to-House Enumeration phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 has been successfully completed across all 23 districts and 117 Assembly Constituencies in Punjab. This marks a significant milestone in ensuring the inclusion of all eligible genuine electors, the removal of ineligible entries, and the promotion of complete transparency in the electoral process.
The successful completion of this phase was made possible through the dedicated efforts of 23 District Election Officers (DEOs), 117 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), 234 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), 2501 Supervisors, and 24,453 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) working under the overall electoral framework of the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Punjab. Valuable support was also extended by representatives of all recognised political parties, especially the 87966 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by them.
During the House-to-House Enumeration exercise, the BLOs visited the residences at recorded addresses of 2,14,61,043 electors whose names stood reflected in the electoral roll as on 9th June 2026, to distribute Enumeration Forms. Thereafter, they made at least three repeat visits to collect the filled forms. For electors unavailable during visits, intimation stickers were affixed at their residences to ensure that no eligible voter was left out in order to ensure that no genuine eligible elector is left out of the draft electoral roll.
A month‑long SVEEP (Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation) plan was implemented using multi‑channel outreach. Key initiatives included the symbolic launch of SIR 2026 on 23 June, where over 2,000 youth formed a human chain, SMS alerts on key dates, radio jingles, audio messages through e‑rickshaws, and BLO field announcements. Electoral Literacy Clubs engaged citizens through poster‑making, debates, seminars, and rangoli competitions, while IEC material was displayed at banks and social media campaigns featured SVEEP icons and eminent personalities. Help Desks were set up at DEO/ERO offices, and senior officials conducted continuous field visits to ensure smooth and inclusive execution.
To further ensure maximum outreach to genuine electors, special camps were also organised across all 117 Assembly Constituencies at polling booths on 7 June, 11–12 July, and 19 July 2026. These camps provided additional opportunities for electors to submit their forms and verify their details. It is pertinent to mention that all BLOs were relieved from duties in their parent departments, from 25th June to 24th July, in order to maximise efforts of the election machinery.
As of 9 June 2026, Punjab had 2,14,61,043 registered electors. Of these, over 1,93,94,408 citizens actively participated by submitting their Enumeration Forms by 3 August 2026. The total number of uncollectable forms(ASDD – Absent/Shifted/Dead/Duplicate) stands at 20,66,635, accounting for 9.63% of total electors.
· District with highest collection Mansa at 96.31%
· Assembly Constituency with highest collection Budhlada at 96.94%
CEO, Ms Anindita Mitra IAS, added that every possible effort has been made to reach out to each and every registered elector. However, if any person has inadvertently been left out of the draft electoral roll, he/she can file a claim by filling form no 6 and submitting either online or physically between 13th August 2026 and 12th September 2026.
She further added that through dedicated efforts of the field level election machinery, especially the BLOs, as well as cooperation of electors, 93.40% of the Electors included in the Draft Electoral Roll, have been mapped with the electoral rolls of 2003 or previous SIR. The process of issuance of notices to unmapped electors, in compliance with instructions of ECI, will be initiated from 13th August, 2026.
On completion of the House‑to‑House Enumeration Phase, Ms. Anindita Mitra, IAS, Chief Electoral Officer, Punjab, said “The successful completion of the House‑to‑House Enumeration under SIR 2026 reflects the collective commitment of our election machinery and the active cooperation of political parties and citizens. Booth Level Officers, supported by DEOs, EROs, and AEROs, worked tirelessly to ensure that every eligible voter was reached and no one was left behind. This exercise is a vital step towards maintaining the accuracy, inclusiveness, and transparency of Punjab’s electoral rolls.”
She further added: “I urge all electors to check and verify the draft roll that will be published on 13 August 2026. In case any eligible voter has been left out due to unavoidable reasons, they should actively participate in the upcoming Claims and Objections period (13 August to 12 September 2026) to ensure their names are included in the final electoral roll. The disposal of claims and objections will continue from 13 August to 8 October 2026, and the final electoral roll will be published on 12 October 2026.”
Polling Station Rationalisation in Punjab
As part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026, polling station rationalisation was carried out across all districts of Punjab to ensure greater accessibility and convenience for electors. The total number of polling stations in the State has increased from 24,453 to 25,332 after rationalisation. This exercise was undertaken to balance elector strength per polling station, improve voter facilitation, and strengthen transparency in the electoral process.
She further added that a very intensive process of physical verification of each and every polling booth and availability of Assured Minimum Facilities(AMF) has been conducted during this period.
