Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Thursday launched the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voters' lists in the state, even as the ruling Left and the Opposition Congress-led UDF continued to protest against the exercise.

Launching the SIR at the Raj Bhavan, the Governor said that the revised voters' list should be total besides being more accurate and inclusive, so as to facilitate free and fair elections.

He also urged electoral officers in the state to ensure that no eligible voter is left out in the revised voters' list, a Raj Bhavan statement said. Arlekar appealed to the people of Kerala to wholeheartedly support and cooperate with the SIR process to make it speedy and fault-free. The Governor assured all support to the electoral officers, the statement said.
