Election Commission Caps Form 7 Applications to Limit Bulk Voter Deletion Requests
The Election Commission of India has capped the number of Form 7 applications an individual elector can file to object to or seek deletion of names from electoral rolls. During the claims and objections period, the limit is 10 applications per person, and during continuous updation, five per month. This applies to both online and offline submissions. The move aims to prevent bulk filings on unsubstantiated grounds, reduce voter inconvenience, and ease election officials' workload. Verification procedures have been strengthened to ensure validity before deletion.
