Election Commission Affirms Unanimous SIR Decisions, Eases Voter Verification Process
The Election Commission of India (ECI) reaffirmed that all decisions related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls were taken unanimously by its three members, including Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. The Supreme Court upheld the SIR order and changes to Form 6. To ease the process, the ECI announced that voters receiving notices for unmapped or logically discrepant entries generally need not appear in person; Booth Level Officers will collect documents at homes. Deadlines for claims and objections in Delhi and Maharashtra have been extended, and a committee will review the ECINet system amid ongoing scrutiny and political debate.
