October 7, 2026: SIR 2026 (Special Intensive Revision) will see special camps conducted at polling stations across Kohima district on October 9, following directions from the Election Commission of India to facilitate electors who have received notices and need to submit supporting documents.

The Office of the Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer, Kohima, issued a circular in connection with the ongoing electoral-roll revision, directing concerned election officials to organize the special camps at polling stations.

Camps to Facilitate Document Submission

According to the circular, the special camps are intended to facilitate the submission of relevant documents by electors who have been served notices during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026.

Election officials have also been directed to collect Form 6, Form 7 and Form 8, where applicable, along with the required supporting documents. The collected documents are to be properly recorded and maintained.

The Election Commission’s SIR exercise in Nagaland is aimed at ensuring that eligible citizens are included in the electoral rolls while ineligible entries are excluded. The state began its SIR process with October 1, 2026, as the qualifying date.

Special Camps on October 9

The Kohima district administration has directed that the special camps be held at polling stations on October 9, 2026.

The initiative is expected to provide an opportunity for concerned electors to submit the necessary documents and address issues raised during the revision process without having to navigate the process separately.

The Election Commission has also directed district election authorities to establish help desks and conduct special camps, particularly to assist people who may face difficulties during the SIR process. Also Read FGN Public Notice Warns Kohima Businesses on Money Collection
