The Election Commission of India has announced a Special Intensive Review (SIR) campaign for the third phase, covering 16 states and 3 Union Territories across the country. In this context, the SIR process in the state of Uttarakhand will be conducted based on a qualifying date of July 1, 2026. Following the Election Commission of India’s announcement of the SIR, the Additional Chief Electoral Officer of Uttarakhand has released a schedule of activities. According to the released schedule, the SIR process in the state of Uttarakhand will commence on May 29. Furthermore, between June 8 and July 7, 2026, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will conduct door-to-door visits to distribute and collect enumeration forms.
It was further clarified that from June 8 to July 7, 2026, BLOs will undertake the task of distributing and collecting enumeration forms through door-to-door visits. During this period, voters will not be required to submit any documents. On July 14, 2026, when the draft electoral roll is published, a copy of the list will also be affixed at the booth level. Should any voter encounter any issues, they may report the relevant details to their respective BLO.
