Prakash Raj Questions Election Commission's Voter Revision Process and Form-6 Requirement
Actor Prakash Raj has questioned the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, particularly the requirement for voters who have shifted residence to submit Form-6 for fresh enrollment instead of Form-8 for corrections. He argued this could lead to deletion from voter rolls and criticized the pressure on officials and voters. After raising concerns publicly, officials visited his residence and changed his status from "permanently shifted" to "shifted." Raj refused to submit Form-6, alleging procedural issues and called for an extension of the verification timeline.
