Why Was It Extended?
These four states are part of the 16 States and Union Territories currently undergoing the third phase of the SIR. The Election Commission recognized that many citizens, particularly those who have migrated for work or studies, need more time to gather historical voter records (like finding the 2002 family roll details) and complete the online submission safely.
