<h1>National electoral authority begins phased special intensive revision of rolls to verify place of birth and remove foreign illegal migrants</h1> The national electoral authority plans a phased, pan-country special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, beginning with states holding assembly polls next year and excluding states conducting local body elections to avoid administrative overlap. One state's SIR has concluded and published its final list. State electoral officials were directed to prepare updated rolls based on the last SIR, which will serve as the cut-off for revisions. A final rollout timetable will be set by the authority's commissioners. The stated legal objective of SIR is to identify and remove foreign illegal migrants by verifying place of birth.
