SIR schedule revised for Maharashtra, extended by 10 days
The Election Commission of India has extended the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) timeline for electoral rolls in Maharashtra by 10 days. The delay was requested due to heavy monsoon rainfall and the Ashadhi Vaari pilgrimage, which diverted administrative resources.
Why it matters
The extension ensures that the electoral roll revision process remains accurate and inclusive despite environmental and cultural disruptions.
The Election Commission of India on Friday (July 17, 2026) announced an extension to the current timeline for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) implementation in Maharashtra by ten days. The revision of electoral rolls will continue till August 8 instead of July 29. The decision comes two days after the Maharashtra State Election Commission had written to the Election Commission seeking an extension.
