The Kerala Government has approached the Supreme Court seeking deferment of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls currently being undertaken by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in the State. In a writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, the State argues that conducting the SIR alongside elections to the Local Self-Government Institutions (LSGIs) will pose significant administrative challenges and hinder the smooth conduct of the polls.
