How to check your SIR hearing notice online through the official voters portal. Follow this simple, beginner-friendly guide to know whether you or your family members have received a hearing notice from the Election Commission.
In recent months, many updates have been released regarding SIR (Special Intensive Revision) of the voter list. First, we saw updates about form filling, submission, and the publication of the draft electoral roll. Now, a new and important update has come.
Many voters whose names appeared in the draft roll are now receiving hearing notices. These notices ask voters to appear before the Election Commission for verification.
If you are wondering:
- Have I received a hearing notice?
- Has anyone in my family received one?
- How can I check this online without visiting any office?
What Is SIR Hearing Notice?
SIR stands for Special Intensive Revision. During this process, voter details are verified to ensure the electoral roll is correct and updated.
A hearing notice is issued when:
- There is a need to verify voter details
- Documents are required for clarification
- The BLO (Booth Level Officer) reports missing or unclear information
If a hearing notice is issued, the voter must attend the hearing or submit required documents.
Who Can Receive a Hearing Notice
You may receive a hearing notice if:
- Your name is newly added to the draft roll
- There is a mismatch in address or age
- Documents were not fully verified
- BLO submitted a verification report
Not everyone will get a notice. Many voters will see a message saying “No hearing notice issued.”
