Kolkata, Nov 4 (PTI) The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls commenced in West Bengal on Tuesday, with booth-level officers (BLOs) visiting voters’ residences and distributing enumeration forms to them, an EC official said.

Altogether, 80,681 BLOs have been deployed to conduct the exercise, he said.

“Overall, 7.66 crore enumeration forms have so far been prepared for the 294 assembly constituencies in the state, and each voter will get two forms. BLO would countersign both forms. The officer would retain one form for the Election Commission of India and return the second with a stamped acknowledgement, which may be required for future reference,” one of the officials said while elaborating on the process.
