A meeting on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the Electoral Rolls 2026 was held on August 11 at the Conference Hall of the Deputy Commissioner, Kohima. The meeting was attended by councillors of the Kohima Municipal Council, Village/Town/Colony Chairmen, Gaon Burahs (GBs) under Kohima Sadar, and representatives of the Kohima Village Youth Organisation and Kohima Village Students Union.

SDO (Civil) Seyiekhrietuo Solo said that SIR is an intensive initiative aimed at “cleaning” the electoral roll. He informed that the mapping percentage in Kohima Town was still very low and urged stakeholders to coordinate with the Booth Level Officers (BLOs), who will conduct door-to-door visits.

He appealed to the public to provide the required information to BLOs in a timely manner and not be reluctant to furnish the relevant details. He also informed that BLOs would explain the process and assist electors in filling up the required forms. Solo further said that in case BLOs miss any household or fail to visit, residents should approach the concerned authorities.
