Goa gets first extension for SIR till Feb 21

The Election Commission (EC) has granted an extension for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Goa, now set to conclude on February 21. This decision comes as part of the ongoing efforts to ensure an accurate and updated voter list ahead of upcoming elections. The SIR is crucial for enhancing voter participation and ensuring the integrity of the electoral process in the state. With this extension, officials will have additional time to address any discrepancies and facilitate the registration of eligible voters. The move reflects the EC’s commitment to uphold democratic processes by ensuring that every eligible citizen has the opportunity to cast their vote. This extension is particularly significant as Goa prepares for its electoral landscape in the coming months, aiming to improve the overall efficiency and transparency of the election system.
