Election Commission Faces Criticism Over Electoral Roll Revision and Impact on Teachers
The Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has faced criticism for irregularities and alleged undemocratic practices, including altered forms and software limiting state officials' authority. In response, the ECI has initiated a special drive to enroll omitted and new voters. However, the scale of SIR has disrupted education, as many teachers serving as Booth Level Officers have had their teaching duties affected, raising concerns about balancing electoral processes with educational responsibilities.
