Title: CEO Meghalaya Reviews SIR 2026 Progress; Over 82% of Hearings Completed
Press Release Number:
EL.63/2026/76
Description:
Out of 21,69,243 electors in the Draft Electoral Roll, 6,51,735 notices have been generated. Of these, 6,46,397 notices have been delivered, while 5,190 notices are reported as pending for delivery. A total of 5,36,468 hearings have been conducted, representing 82.31% of the notices generated. So far, 542 electors have been found ineligible for inclusion in the Final Electoral Roll after scrutiny and the prescribed process.
The CEO directed all DEOs and EROs to expedite the remaining notice delivery and hearings while ensuring that every elector is provided a fair and reasonable opportunity of being heard. Electors who could not attend on the originally scheduled date should also be provided another opportunity for hearing.
The CEO reiterated that receipt of a notice does not mean automatic deletion from the Electoral Roll. A notice provides the elector an opportunity to clarify the issue identified during scrutiny and furnish the prescribed supporting documents. No name appearing in the Draft Electoral Roll shall be deleted without following the prescribed procedure and providing due opportunity of hearing
