Roundtable raises alarm over SIR process, forms Voter Protection Forum in A.P.
The meeting adopts a resolution stating it was the responsibility of the Election Commission to protect the voting rights of all citizens who attain the age of 18
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) organized a roundtable meeting in Andhra Pradesh to raise concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and its potential threat to voters' rights. The meeting, chaired by CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivasa Rao, adopted a resolution demanding the Election Commission to protect the voting rights of all citizens who have reached the age of 18.
In response to these concerns, the meeting decided to form a Voter Protection Forum to monitor alleged irregularities and safeguard voting rights. The forum will consult public organisations and political parties before finalising its composition and submit a representation to the Chief Electoral Officer.
