What happened
The Election Commission has extended the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Haryana by 10 days. The stated purpose is procedural: the extension gives more time to complete the ongoing election-related exercise.
The change reflects an administrative adjustment to schedule management and field-level workload under election rules.
Background and earlier position
The Special Intensive Revision is part of the Election Commission of India’s electoral-roll updating process. The current note does not provide the legal basis of SIR, the earlier schedule, or whether similar extensions have been granted in other states, so only the Haryana extension can be treated as verified here.
