The CEO also said that the special intensive revision (SIR) of voters list will be conducted in the state from next month.

Addressing a media-conference here, Gopalan said the ECI has responded to all issues raised by political parties, especially the BJD and state Congress, and assured the public of a fair and transparent electoral process. "Baseless allegations should not be made to undermine the credibility of the Election Commission or shake the public's trust in the democratic process," he added.
