Election Commission Confirms Unanimous Approval of SIR Orders for Multiple States
Sources from the Election Commission of India (ECI) state that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) orders for Bihar, Assam, and 12 other states and Union Territories were unanimously approved by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. The approved orders include a Declaration Form to be submitted with Form 6 for new voters, aligned with Section 21(3) of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. This clarification comes amid reports of internal objections by the two Election Commissioners regarding changes to Form 6 and electoral roll procedures, which the ECI has denied, emphasizing no alteration to Form 6 itself.
