Telangana CEO Orders Action Against False Declarations in Electoral Roll Forms
Telangana's Chief Electoral Officer has directed officials to investigate and take action against applicants making false declarations in Forms 6, 6A, 7, and 8 during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The CEO highlighted concerns over bulk applications in Form 7 that may be fraudulent and instructed inquiries under Rule 20 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, before proceeding with action. This follows a Supreme Court clarification denying approval of any modified Form 6 used in the revision process.
