Gujarat SIR Impact on Local Polls Under Review in 2025

The Gujarat State Election Commission is examining how Special Investment Regions (SIRs) could influence local body elections, from ward boundaries and reservation to voter rolls and turnout. Officials are gathering feedback in Ahmedabad and other districts before any rule changes. The review is seen as significant for municipal, taluka, and panchayat polls scheduled in 2025. Decisions are expected after consultations.
