what is sir

Special Intensive Revision, also known as SIR, is a major initiative of the Election Commission to clean and update the voter database of the country. Booth level officers go door-to-door to verify information related to address, age and identity of voters. The purpose of this entire initiative is to ensure that only eligible citizens remain in the voter list. Bihar was the first state to successfully complete this process and now this model will be implemented in the entire country.

Which documents will prove citizenship?

When it comes to proving citizenship, certain documents are legally recognized as per government guidelines. These include birth certificate, residence certificate, passport, National Register of Citizens document, government identity card or pension order. Let us tell you that Aadhar Card, PAN Card or Ration Card are valid only for address or government schemes, they are not considered as proof of citizenship. Along with this, Voter ID card is also not considered as the final proof of citizenship. In some cases, valid civil documents of the parents can also establish the citizenship of the child.

What should you do before SIR

Before this process, you should ensure that you have your birth certificate and residence certificate in the correct order. If these documents are not available then apply for them immediately through the local government office or online portal. It is also advisable that you double check that the details of all your documents such as name, date of birth and address are the same in all the given records.

Just before Bihar Election 2025, there is a ruckus over the voter card of former Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. In fact, Tejashwi Yadav has been accused of having two voter cards in which he is badly trapped. After this allegation, the Election Commission started investigation and sent a notice to Tejashwi. In such a situation, if it is proved that Tejashwi deliberately placed two voter cards or used fake documents, then legal action can be taken against him. Let us know that if a person has two voter ID cards, then what kind of legal action can be taken on him.

What is the allegation?

Actually, Tejashwi Yadav had alleged that he is not named in the voter list. After which this claim was rejected by the Election Commission and the EPIC number was issued that his name is included in the voter list. But after this, Tejashwi Yadav is being accused of keeping two voter cards, which the Commission has also sought an answer and has issued a notice to him. Sending a notice to Tejashwi, it was asked that the voter card he has mentioned should show him because the EPIC number in the investigation was not officially released. This means that the number that Tejashwi showed is not in the record. In such a situation, the question arises that if Tejashwi Yadav is found guilty then what action can be taken against him.

What does the law say?

If a person has two voter ID cards in India, then it falls under the category of crime. Former Joint Director of ECI Mohammad Amin said that according to Section 17 (Section 17) of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, no person can join the voter list in more than one constituency. If he does this, then under section 18 (Section 18) and 31 (Section 31), he can be imprisoned for one year and can be imprisoned or both. As far as Tejashwi Yadav is concerned, the Election Commission has issued a notice to him, if he is found guilty then he will be punished under the rules.
