EC rolls back SIR add-on in Form 6
The Election Commission has removed the extra SIR declaration from online voter registration Form 6 in states where the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is finished. This requirement, which distressed two of the Commission's three members, asks new candidates to provide data linking themselves or their parents or grandparents to previous intensive roll revisions.
It remains on the ECINET portal in areas where SIR persists. After SIR finishes, the declaration has been taken out of the ECINET app and portal, as well as the portals of individual Chief Electoral Officers. Candidates there will now only fill the official Form 6 outlined in the Registration of Electors Rules of 1960.
