Election Commission Allows Previously Enrolled Voters to Submit Form 6 for Inclusion
The Election Commission of India (ECI) clarified that voters previously enrolled but missing from draft electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) can submit Form 6 to seek inclusion in the final list. The ECI stated that submitting Form 6 in such cases is not a false declaration and will not lead to prosecution under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, provided the voter is not registered elsewhere. This follows a Delhi High Court ruling addressing voter concerns about legal risks.
