ECI extends SIR in Andhra Pradesh: enumeration till July 24, final roll on October 3

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday (July 14, 2026) extended the house-to-house enumeration under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Andhra Pradesh till July 24, pushing the draft publication to July 31 and the final publication to October 3.

With the original deadline for the SIR set to conclude on July 14, the Commission’s directive ensures an extended timeline for electoral preparations. The Commission revised its May 14 schedule following a request from the Chief Electoral Officer, made in a letter dated July 14; various political parties had also been seeking an extension of the ongoing process. According to the updated schedule, house-to-house visits by Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will continue until July 24, 2026, with the rationalisation and re-arrangement of polling stations also slated for completion by that date.
