⭐ SIR 2025 Deadline Extended to 11 December: Big Relief for Voters in 12 States

Election Commission Extends SIR Form Submission Deadline to December 11, 2025 – New Draft & Final Electoral Roll Dates Announced

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has officially extended the last date for submitting SIR (Special Intensive Revision) forms for the ongoing SIR 2025 exercise. Earlier scheduled to end on 4 December 2025, the deadline has now been extended to 11 December 2025 across nine states and three Union Territories.

This update is important for voters who are yet to submit their SIR Enumeration Forms to their Booth Level Officers (BLOs). With this extension, all eligible electors get more time to ensure their details are verified and included in the upcoming draft voter list.

Which States and UTs Are Covered Under This Extension?

The new SIR deadline applies to electors in 12 states and Union Territories, including:

• Andaman & Nicobar Islands
• Chhattisgarh
• Goa
• Gujarat
• Kerala
• Lakshadweep
• Madhya Pradesh
• Puducherry
• Rajasthan
• Tamil Nadu
• Uttar Pradesh
• West Bengal

All SIR forms collected by 11 December 2025 will be digitised and uploaded to the ECINet portal as part of the ECI’s large-scale national voter list cleanup initiative.

Why Did the Election Commission Extend the SIR Deadline?

While the ECI has not mentioned a specific reason, the available data hints at the need for additional time. As of now:

• 99.53% of enumeration forms have been distributed.
• 78.97% forms have already been digitised.

The extension allows BLOs and electors more flexibility to complete the verification process, ensuring a more accurate and updated electoral roll ahead of key upcoming elections.

New Dates for Draft and Final Electoral Rolls

The extended SIR deadline has slightly shifted the overall electoral roll revision timeline.

Updated ECI Schedule

Draft Electoral Roll Publication:
➡️ 16 December 2025 (earlier 9 December)

Final Electoral Roll Publication (2026):
➡️ 14 February 2026 (earlier 7 February)

All forms verified and submitted on or before the new SIR last date will be included in the draft voter list.

What Is the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)?

The Special Intensive Revision 2025 is a major pan-India initiative replacing the earlier Special Summary Revision (SSR).

Unlike SSR—which only modifies existing records—SIR rebuilds the electoral roll from scratch, ensuring:

• Removal of duplicate, shifted, or deceased voters
• Correct and verified entries
• Clean and updated constituency-wise voter lists

This process was first carried out in Bihar in June 2024. After the revision, Bihar’s electoral roll saw a 6% reduction, mainly due to deleting outdated or inaccurate entries.

SIR Form Fill Last Date – Final Deadline (Updated)

As per the revised schedule, the last date for submitting SIR forms is now:

📅 11 December 2025 (Thursday)

BLOs will continue their door-to-door visits and form collection until this day. Online submissions through NVSP or the Voter Helpline App must also be completed by the same date.

Why Submitting Before the SIR Deadline Matters

Submitting your form before 11 December ensures:

• Your name appears correctly in the Draft Electoral Roll
• Errors and corrections are handled without delay
• No need to apply separately using Form 6 later
• Your BLO can verify your details on time
• You avoid verification delays during later stages

It also helps the ECI maintain a clean, transparent, and accurate voter database.

What If You Miss the SIR Form Deadline?

Missing the 11 December deadline does not stop you from registering as a voter.

However:

• Your details will not appear in the Draft Electoral Roll.
• You must apply separately using Form 6 (new voter addition), Form 7 (deletion), or Form 8 (correction) during the Claims & Objections period.
• The Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) will need extra time for verification, which may delay your final inclusion.

Submitting during the SIR period is still the fastest and simplest way to ensure timely verification.

Conclusion

The extension of the SIR form deadline gives voters across 12 states and UTs another week to verify their voter details. Since the voter roll plays a crucial role in ensuring free and fair elections, submitting your SIR form by 11 December 2025 is the best way to ensure your information appears correctly in the upcoming draft and final electoral rolls.

Staying updated with the new schedule and completing your form on time will make the entire process smoother—both for you and for the Election Commission of India.
