Bombay High Court Highlights Voter Exclusion Issues in Goa's Special Intensive Revision
The Bombay High Court in Goa has raised concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, highlighting a 'catch-22' situation where eligible voters, including Paresh Salgaonkar and family, were removed from electoral rolls after their Form 8 applications for address changes were rejected. The court questioned the Election Commission of India's (ECI) procedures, emphasizing that citizens should not be excluded and that filing Form 6 for re-enrolment should not be considered a false declaration. Meanwhile, efforts are underway in Goa to re-enroll 97 voters omitted due to technical issues in the ECINET system.
