They’re part of the Election Commission’s biggest voter update drive yet. SIR Phase-III kicks off across 16 states + 3 UTs, aiming to reach 36.73 crore people. And yes, political parties are actually helping; they’ve appointed 3.42 lakh agents to walk alongside Booth Level Officers. Why does this matter? Because clean, updated voter rolls = fairer elections. Phase-I and II already covered 59 crore; now they’re closing the gap. Himachal, J&K, Ladakh? Delayed; thanks to weather and census data. Small move. Big impact. If you get a form, fill it. It’s not just paperwork; it’s democracy showing up at your doorstep.
