Imphal | Imphal East district has achieved full digitisation of Enumeration Forms under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral Rolls, 2026, completing a key stage in the ongoing voter list revision exercise ahead of the publication of draft electoral rolls.

According to a statement issued by the Office of the District Election Officer and Deputy Commissioner, all Enumeration Forms collected during the enumeration phase have been digitised, including those classified as uncollectible. The exercise was conducted between May 30 and June 28, during which Booth Level Officers (BLOs) carried out door-to-door visits for the distribution, collection and verification of forms.

The revision process covered all ten Assembly constituencies in Imphal East district-Khundrakpam, Heingang, Khurai, Kshetrigao, Thongju, Keirao, Andro, Lamlai, Yaiskul and Wangkhei.

Officials said the exercise encompassed 3,31,602 electors across 432 polling stations. Of the 3,30,338 Enumeration Forms distributed, 3,14,893 were successfully digitised. A total of 16,709 forms were categorised as uncollectible due to factors such as the death of electors, inability to trace voters, prolonged absence, permanent relocation, prior enrolment in other electoral rolls and other valid reasons.

The District Election Office announced that the draft electoral roll will be published on July 5, 2026. Following its publication, electors and stakeholders will be able to submit claims and objections between July 5 and August 4.

The scrutiny and disposal of claims and objections will continue until September 2, after which the final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on September 6, 2026.

As part of the revision process, a meeting on the rationalisation of polling stations was held on June 15. The meeting was attended by Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), officials from the Zonal Education Office and representatives of recognised national and state political parties.

Election authorities said the Special Intensive Revision aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of electoral rolls by updating voter records and removing ineligible entries while facilitating the inclusion of all eligible citizens.

Reaffirming the guiding principle of the exercise, officials stated that the objective is to ensure that “no eligible citizen is left out and no ineligible person is included” in the electoral roll.

The administration also reiterated that every Indian citizen who has attained the age of 18 years on the qualifying date and is not otherwise disqualified under law is entitled to be registered as a voter. The completion of digitisation in Imphal East is expected to streamline the next stages of electoral roll revision and strengthen the accuracy of voter records ahead of future elections.
