Assam voter list revision: Special revision of electoral rolls announced amidst NRC delays

Guwahati: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday that once the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is notified, Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls can be taken up next year.

Sarma told media persons, “As NRC has not been notified in Assam due to various legacy issues, the Special Intensive Revision of voters' list has been temporarily deferred. However, the Election Commission has ordered a special revision of the voter lists. This will help us weed out illegals from our electoral process”.
