Introduction
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2025 in West Bengal is a crucial voter roll verification drive launched by the Election Commission of India (ECI). It ensures that every eligible voter’s details are accurate and up to date before upcoming elections.
Whether your name is missing, spelled incorrectly, or your address has changed, you can check and update your voter record easily through official ECI channels during this SIR period.
Visit the Election Commission of India or the CEO West Bengal website for official voter roll access.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has clarified that only a few essential items are required during form submission — your EPIC (Voter ID) number and two passport-size photographs.
However, BLOs (Booth Level Officers) may request additional proof later, so it’s best to keep other documents handy.
