If you too are newly married then you too must be facing a problem. Actually, getting your spouse’s name added to your family’s voter list can be a big task. Now to make this work easier, SIR (State Information Registry) process has been started in the country. If you also want to include your wife’s name in government records like voter list, then you can do it easily by adopting this process.
What is the “SIR” process?
“SIR” is a process run by the Election Commission of India, whose full name is Special Intensive Revision. The main work of the “SIR” process is to revise the voter list, i.e. inspect it, remove the names of dead or migrated voters from the voter list and include the names of eligible new voters, so that correct information can be obtained about the voters.
things to note
If you have recently got married and you want to add your wife’s name, then use of SIR is possible only if she is an Indian voter in some state. If you want to get their name added to the family register or ration card/citizen identity document, the process will be related to the state-level citizen/family register instead of SIR. It has nothing to do with SIR. The SIR process is only for updating the voter list.
