Aizawl, February 23 Mizoram is finalizing preparations for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls scheduled from April to June, a senior official said on Monday.
The exercise, being undertaken by the Election Commission in 22 states and union territories, will mark Mizoram's first intensive update in over 20 years since the last SIR in 2004.
The initiative aims to remove ineligible entries and register new voters in a structured and time-bound manner once the formal process begins this April.
Mizoram Joint Chief Electoral Officer Ethel Rothangpuii said that the groundwork is nearly complete, signaling the state's readiness for one of its most comprehensive voter roll updates in decades.
She said that training sessions for District Election Officers (DEOs), Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), and Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have been successfully concluded across all districts.
Furthermore, procurement and preparation of enumeration forms have already been initiated.
In line with ECI mandates, the state election machinery has completed a "rationalization" process to ensure that no single polling station exceeds the 1,200-voter limit, prioritizing ease of access for voters to polling stations in both urban and remote areas, she said.
"We have reached a high level of readiness for the upcoming exercise scheduled from April to June 2026, as we have been preparing for the past three months," Rothangpuii told
