Nagpur Makes Steady Progress in Special Intensive Revision
Nagpur district has achieved a significant milestone in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with 216 polling parts completing 100% digitisation of Enumeration Forms, according to the latest district data.
The achievement reflects the district administration’s intensified efforts to streamline the voter verification process through digital record management, ensuring greater accuracy and transparency in the electoral roll revision exercise.
Officials expect the number of fully digitised polling parts to rise further as work continues within the timeline prescribed by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Kamptee Leads District in Digitisation
Among all Assembly constituencies, Kamptee has emerged as the top performer with 89 polling parts achieving complete digitisation.
It is followed by:
- Ramtek – 68 polling parts
- Katol – 22 polling parts
- Umred – 19 polling parts
- Saoner – 12 polling parts
- Hingna – 4 polling parts
- Nagpur South West – 1 polling part
- Nagpur East – 1 polling part
The data indicates that rural and semi-urban constituencies have made faster progress compared to urban areas.
Administration Intensifies SIR Drive
District officials said the number of fully digitised polling parts has increased steadily over the past few days due to a series of focused initiatives.
The administration has strengthened the exercise by:
- Setting up facilitation centres
- Organising special enrolment and verification camps
- Conducting targeted field visits
- Deploying Booth Level Officers (BLOs) for door-to-door verification
BLOs are spending additional time digitising received Enumeration Forms while simultaneously collecting pending forms from eligible voters to accelerate the revision process.
Urban Areas Face Greater Challenges
While rural constituencies have reported substantial progress, the data highlights a noticeable rural-urban divide in the digitisation exercise.
According to officials, several factors have slowed progress in urban Assembly segments, including:
- Frequent migration of residents
- Locked or vacant houses
- High numbers of rented accommodations
- Difficulty contacting residents in apartment complexes and gated communities
These challenges have delayed both the collection and verification of Enumeration Forms in many urban polling areas.
Focus on Timely Completion
Election officials remain confident that the number of fully digitised polling parts will continue to increase as field verification progresses.
The Special Intensive Revision aims to ensure that electoral rolls remain accurate and up to date by verifying voter information, removing ineligible entries and facilitating the enrolment of eligible citizens before the publication of the final electoral roll.
