PIB published decisions taken at a meeting of the Election Commission held on 26 September 2026. For persons issued notices during the ongoing SIR for being unmapped or for logical discrepancies, BLOs will visit homes to collect documents and upload them on ECINet for decision by the ERO, and such persons need not be called for a hearing; online hearings will be held only in exceptional circumstances.

District Election Officers will set up help desks or special camps for people in night shelters and similar groups. The declaration attached to Form 6 for SIR has been upheld by the Supreme Court. A committee headed by a Senior Deputy Election Commissioner, including an independent expert from IIT or IIIT, will review ECINET for compliance with the Acts and Rules.

Key facts
  • Meeting date: 26 September 2026
  • Documents collected by: BLOs at homes
  • Decision by: ERO
