Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will chair an all-party meeting in Chennai on Sunday to discuss the upcoming Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the state’s electoral rolls, scheduled to begin next week.

The meeting, called amid political debate over the Election Commission’s move, is expected to outline a collective stance on how parties should engage with the voter list revision exercise.

According to official sources, the special revision — on the lines of a similar drive recently conducted in Bihar — will commence across Tamil Nadu on Tuesday, November 4.

Raising concerns over the timing and procedure of the exercise, the ruling DMK and its allies have alleged that the revision could be exploited for political gain. In response, Chief Minister Stalin has convened the meeting to ensure a broad-based consultation and consensus among political stakeholders before the process begins.

The deliberations are set to begin at 10 a.m. at Thyagaraya Nagar. Invitations have been extended to both alliance partners and parties outside the ruling coalition. Senior DMK leaders, including organising secretary Poochi Murugan, Port Kaja, and Austin, personally delivered the invitation letters to various party leaders over the past two days.

While the AIADMK, BJP, and the Anbumani Ramadoss-led PMK faction have decided to skip the meeting, several non-allied parties — including the DMDK, Tamizhaga Makkal Katchi (TAMAK), Thamizhaga Vetri Kazham (TVK), and other regional outfits — have confirmed their participation. In total, around 60 political parties have been invited.

Political observers note that the meeting will likely focus on ensuring transparency in the voter roll revision and seeking assurances from the Election Commission regarding fairness in the process.

Parties are expected to present suggestions on voter verification, inclusion of new voters, and correction of discrepancies in the rolls. The discussions are also likely to influence the state government’s subsequent coordination with the Election Commission and district-level officials.

As opposition parties continue to question the neutrality of the revision, Sunday’s all-party meet is seen as a key political moment in the run-up to the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
