Booth Level Officers, a qualifying date and a draft roll: how the Special Intensive Revision runs in Tripura

Background

The Election Commission of India is carrying out a Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls in Tripura.
Booth Level Officers make house-to-house visits from 6 November to 5 December.
The qualifying date for the revision is 1 January 2027, so a person who turns eighteen by that day can be enrolled.
The draft electoral rolls are to be published on 12 December.
The final rolls come out on 15 February 2027, after the period for claims and objections.
The Commission had earlier deferred the start of the revision, which was to have begun on 5 September, because of village committee elections in the State's tribal areas.

House-to-house visits: November 6 to December 5 Qualifying date: January 1, 2027 Final rolls: February 15, 2027

Why it matters for exams: SIR stands for Special Intensive Revision, and the Booth Level Officer is the official who does the house-to-house verification.
