Senapati Conducts SIR 2026 Training for Poll Officials

Senapati, May 27, 2026 (DIO): In connection with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral Roll 2026, with 1 July 2026 as the qualifying date, a meeting-cum-training programme for Booth Level Supervisors, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and Booth Level Agents (BLAs) of three Assembly Segments — 47 Karong ST AC, 48 Mao ST AC and 49 Tadubi ST AC — was successfully held today at the DRDA Conference Hall, Senapati, under the supervision of the District Election Officer, Senapati. The programme was organised by the respective Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) of the three Assembly Segments of the district.

The Special Intensive Revision is a mandated exercise of the Election Commission of India aimed at ensuring a clean, inclusive and error-free Electoral Roll through systematic verification and citizen participation, including house-to-house enumeration, pre-filled forms and rigorous verification of existing voter data.

The training was conducted by the EROs and master trainers of the three Assembly Segments, namely S. Lunguiba Thangal, ERO of 47 Karong ST AC; Chovoni Kayina, CO of 48 Mao ST AC; and A. Sayia, CO of 49 Tadubi ST AC.

During the training, officials outlined the tentative plans for SIR 2026, with 1 July as the qualifying date. The trainees were given systematic instructions on updating the electoral roll with accurate field data and information before submitting them to the concerned EROs. The trainers also stated that every report received through enumeration forms would be digitalised through the BLO App, compiled for draft publication, and finalised after a dedicated period for filing claims and objections.

Additionally, the role of Booth Level Supervisor Officers in guiding the BLOs was emphasised. The trainers extended their best wishes to all BLOs for the successful implementation of SIR 2026 and concluded the programme with an interactive session on form filling and the use of the BLO App.

Altogether, around 245 participants, including BLO Supervisors, BLOs and BLAs from the district’s three Assembly Segments, attended the training programme to ensure the smooth implementation of the SIR 2026 initiative.
