Bhubaneswar: The Election Commission will undertake a month-long Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across Odisha from May 30 to June 28, Odisha Chief Electoral Officer R S Gopalan announced on Friday.
Addressing the media, the CEO said training of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and Booth Level Agents (BLAs) will be held between May 20 and 29. Following the training, BLOs will begin door-to-door verification of voters across the state from May 30.
