Door-to-door Enumeration Begins in Madurai District

The [translate:Special Intensive Revision] (SIR) of electoral rolls has started in Madurai district and will continue until December 4, 2025. The process involves detailed door-to-door enumeration of electors based on their assembly constituencies.

Implementation Details

Following the Election Commission of India's announcement, door-to-door counting is underway as part of the SIR in Tamil Nadu, with Madurai district as one of the key areas.

Role of Booth-Level Officers

A Booth-Level Officer (BLO) from the Tiruppalai area, within Madurai East Assembly constituency, explained the approach. Approximately 15 BLOs will divide the household enumeration among themselves to ensure efficient and swift coverage.

Each BLO is responsible for 300 to 400 houses, covering nearly 1,000 voters.
Households will be visited at least three times during the allotted timeframe to ensure accuracy and completeness.

First Visit Procedures

During the initial visit, if electors are found present, they receive two forms containing their photograph, name, address, QR code, constituency, voter number, and booth address.

“Though every BLO will be covering about 300 to 400 houses, with close to 1,000 voters, we have been instructed to visit every house at least three times in the stipulated time period.”

This comprehensive enumeration aims to update and verify voter information ahead of upcoming elections.

Author's summary: Madurai district has initiated an intensive door-to-door voter listing as part of a state-wide effort to update electoral rolls accurately and efficiently by December 4, 2025.
