The House-to-House Enumeration phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 has been successfully completed across all 23 districts and 117 Assembly Constituencies in Punjab. This marks a significant milestone in ensuring the inclusion of all eligible genuine electors, the removal of ineligible entries, and the promotion of complete transparency in the electoral process.
The successful completion of this phase was made possible through the dedicated efforts of 23 District Election Officers (DEOs), 117 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), 234 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), 2501 Supervisors, and 24,453 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) working under the overall electoral framework of the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Punjab. Valuable support was also extended by representatives of all recognised political parties, especially the 87966 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by them.
During the House-to-House Enumeration exercise, the BLOs visited the residences at recorded addresses of 2,14,61,043 electors whose names stood reflected in the electoral roll as on 9th June 2026, to distribute Enumeration Forms. Thereafter, they made at least three repeat visits to collect the filled forms. For electors unavailable during visits, intimation stickers were affixed at their residences to ensure that no eligible voter was left out in order to ensure that no genuine eligible elector is left out of the draft electoral roll.
A month‑long SVEEP (Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation) plan was implemented using multi‑channel outreach. Key initiatives included the symbolic launch of SIR 2026 on 23 June, where over 2,000 youth formed a human chain, SMS alerts on key dates, radio jingles, audio messages through e‑rickshaws, and BLO field announcements. Electoral Literacy Clubs engaged citizens through poster‑making, debates, seminars, and rangoli competitions, while IEC material was displayed at banks and social media campaigns featured SVEEP icons and eminent personalities. Help Desks were set up at DEO/ERO offices, and senior officials conducted continuous field visits to ensure smooth and inclusive execution.
To further ensure maximum outreach to genuine electors, special camps were also organised across all 117 Assembly Constituencies at polling booths on 7 June, 11–12 July, and 19 July 2026. These camps provided additional opportunities for electors to submit their forms and verify their details. It is pertinent to mention that all BLOs were relieved from duties in their parent departments, from 25th June to 24th July, in order to maximise efforts of the election machinery.
As of 9 June 2026, Punjab had 2,14,61,043 registered electors. Of these, over 1,93,94,408 citizens actively participated by submitting their Enumeration Forms by 3 August 2026. The total number of uncollectable forms(ASDD – Absent/Shifted/Dead/Duplicate) stands at 20,66,635, accounting for 9.63% of total electors. These include:
- Death: [5,74,568, 2.68%]
- Untraceable/Absent: [4,12,715, 1.92%]
- Permanently Shifted: [9,44,131, 4.40%]
