The Election Commission is likely to announce nationwide special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls on Monday. The development comes amid stern protest from Opposition over alleged irregularities in the exercise.

The Election Commission has announced a press conference at 4.15pm on Monday. While the agenda of the press briefing hasn't been publicised, sources in the know of developments say the Commission is likely to announce pan-India SIR on Monday.

Reportedly, the Commission is likely to conduct the intensive revision in multiple phases across the country, and the first phase is likely to include 10-15 states. The Commission is reportedly planning to complete the revision of the electoral roll in poll-bound states in the first phase itself.
