Election Commission Defers Tripura Electoral Roll Revision Until November
Tripura is updating its list of people who can vote.
This work is called a Special Intensive Revision, or SIR.

The Election Commission delayed it because Village Committee elections will take place on September 28.
Election workers and party representatives will be busy with those elections.
The new house-to-house checking will happen from November 6 to December 5, 2026.
A draft voter list will be released on December 12.
People can then file claims and objections.
The final voter list is expected on February 15, 2027.
