Gandhinagar, Jan 31 (NationPress) Gujarat has successfully gathered a total of 1,470,125 applications during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls, as reported by state election officials.

This revision initiative was executed following the directives from the Election Commission of India, aimed at enhancing the accuracy and inclusivity of the voter registry.

The SIR campaign launched throughout Gujarat on October 27 of the previous year, with the enumeration process wrapping up and the draft electoral roll being published on December 19.

Citizens were initially given until January 18, 2026, to file claims and objections, a timeframe that was later extended by the Election Commission to January 30.

The claims and objections period closed on that date, and officials have assured that all applications will be reviewed and resolved by February 10.

Out of the total applications, 725,920 were submitted via Form 6 for the inclusion of new voters, 183,235 through Form 7 for name deletions, and 560,970 through Form 8 for detail corrections or transpositions.

Ahmedabad district recorded the highest number of applications at 216,084, followed by Surat with 131,153 and Anand with 78,790.

Other districts with notable application counts include Rajkot with 72,149, Bhavnagar with 63,116, Vadodara with 58,822, and Kachchh with 54,221.

On the lower end, Dang district received 4,001 applications, while Narmada recorded 7,397 and Tapi with 8,096.

District-wise data reveals diverse patterns of applications, with some areas like Anand and Kheda reporting relatively higher Form 7 submissions, indicating deletions, while urban centers such as Ahmedabad and Surat saw a significant number of Form 8 applications related to corrections and updates in voter information.

Election officials indicated that Electoral Registration Officers and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers throughout the state are diligently reviewing all applications in accordance with established procedures.

This effort is being undertaken to fulfill the Election Commission’s goal that “no eligible voter should be left out and no ineligible voter should be included” in the electoral rolls.

Authorities have also emphasized that citizens who missed the chance to submit applications during the SIR phase, or who faced challenges in participating for any reason, will still have the opportunity under the continuous revision process.

Through this ongoing mechanism, eligible voters can apply for inclusion, deletion, migration, or correction of details in the electoral roll even after the conclusion of the current revision cycle.
