Supreme Court to Hear Challenges Against India's Voter Roll Revision Amid Protests
India's Supreme Court is set to hear multiple petitions challenging the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, amid allegations that millions of eligible voters were removed. Opposition parties and civil society groups accuse the process of being flawed and politically motivated, while the Election Commission defends it as a necessary update. Hearings will address state-specific concerns, legal challenges to voter deletion procedures, and restrictions on protests. An independent commission is also gathering testimonies from affected voters across several states.
