Serchhip Finishes Electoral Roll Digitisation Drive

Serchhip district has successfully completed the digitisation of Enumeration Forms under the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026, marking an important milestone in the electoral roll revision process. Officials said the digitisation work was completed late on June 17 after weeks of extensive fieldwork and verification carried out across the district. Serchhip district covers three Assembly constituencies — 26-Serchhip (ST), 27-Tuikum (ST) and 28-Hrangturzo (ST) — with a total electorate of 55,389 voters. During the revision exercise, authorities identified 1,184 cases where Enumeration Forms could not be collected. These included deceased voters, electors who could not be traced, individuals who were absent during the exercise, permanently shifted voters, duplicate entries and a small number of people who declined to sign the forms.

The exercise began on May 30, when Booth Level Officers (BLOs) launched a door-to-door campaign to distribute Enumeration Forms to households across the district. Election officials said the task was particularly challenging due to adverse weather conditions, difficult terrain, scattered settlements and various logistical hurdles. Despite these difficulties, BLOs carried out the exercise across all parts of the district, ensuring that every possible household was reached. The collection, verification and subsequent digitisation of the forms were completed on schedule on June 17.

District Election Officer Paul L. Khuma thanked all those involved in the revision process for their support and commitment. He appreciated the efforts of Election Branch officials, Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), Booth Level Officers, Booth Level Agents (BLAs), members of the media, community leaders and other stakeholders. Khuma said the successful completion of the digitisation process reflected the collective effort and cooperation of all stakeholders working to ensure an accurate and updated electoral roll in the district as part of the Special Intensive Revision 2026.
