Earlier, people in Tamil Nadu had to visit the Village Office, Taluk Office, Corporation Office, or repeatedly meet the BLO just to check their voter details. Today, the Election Commission has fully digitized the process. You can now download the voter list of any Village Panchayat, Municipality, Town Panchayat, or Corporation ward in Tamil Nadu directly from your mobile or computer—quickly and free of cost.

What is SIR (Special Intensive Revision)?

The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is a large-scale, detailed update of electoral rolls conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
It is far more extensive than the routine annual voter list revision.

Main Objectives of SIR

• Add all eligible 18+ voters
• Remove duplicate, deceased, or ineligible entries
• Correct mistakes in name, age, gender, or address
• Ensure a fully accurate and updated voter list before major elections

SIR is carried out under Article 324 of the Constitution and relevant sections of the Representation of the People Act.
