The Special Intensive Revision exercise is aimed at ensuring accuracy and transparency in electoral rolls, including the removal of duplicate and ineligible names and the inclusion of eligible voters.

However, it may be noted that the proposed SIR process has drawn strong objections from opposition parties, who have raised concerns over its implementation and possible impact on voters.
