Ahead of SIR rollout, Odisha adds 7,000 new polling booths
Odisha has significantly increased its polling booths by 7,000, bringing the total to 43,000, to ensure no booth exceeds 1,200 voters ahead of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. This preparatory exercise, underway for five months, aims to map voters with the 2002 list, with those added post-2002 needing documentary proof for validation.
