Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann urges voters to complete Special Intensive Revision process

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has urged eligible voters across the state to participate in the Election Commission of India's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and complete the required forms to ensure their names remain on the voter list.

In a video message issued from Bengaluru, Mann said the Election Commission's voter list revision exercise is underway and appealed to residents to verify their details by submitting the prescribed forms. According to the chief minister, the process is intended to keep electoral rolls updated.

Mann also claimed that individuals whose names are removed from the electoral rolls could become ineligible for certain government social security schemes, including the state's proposed "Mavan Dhian Satikar Yojana." The Election Commission of India has not independently confirmed any link between voter registration status and eligibility for government welfare benefits.

According to the Election Commission of India, the Special Intensive Revision campaign began on June 25, with election officials conducting door-to-door verification and collecting the required forms from eligible voters.
