Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Delhi Voter Restoration and Roll Revision on October 28
The Supreme Court of India will hear on October 28 a plea concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Delhi's electoral roll, which excluded over 4.7 million voters. Petitioners seek a mechanism for restoring these voters without requiring them to declare they are applying for the first time via Form 6, which currently mandates such a declaration. The court also considers directing the Election Commission to disclose the list of voters issued notices during SIR with reasons. The hearing was advanced to address concerns before the October 30 deadline for claims and objections.
