The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday, May 14, 2026 launched the third phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls — the most comprehensive voter list verification exercise in the country’s recent history. The exercise covers 16 states and three Union Territories, encompassing over 36.73 crore electors, with more than 3.94 lakh Booth Level Officers (BLOs) conducting door-to-door verification supported by 3.42 lakh Booth Level Agents appointed by political parties. Andhra Pradesh is among the states covered in this phase, with the process set to begin on June 5, 2026.
Andhra Pradesh — Complete SIR Schedule
For Andhra Pradesh, the qualifying date for the revision is July 1, 2026. The full timeline is as follows:
