  "account": "The controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi has sparked a protest, dubbed Jantar Mantar 2.0. Key concerns include alleged irregularities in the SIR process and the conduct of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at the Election Commission. Protesters are demanding Kumar's resignation.\n\nSIR is carried out in phases to ensure accurate and up-to-date voter lists, removing ineligible or duplicate entries. Deletions are verified by Booth Level Officers through house-to-house enumeration. The process aims to ensure eligible voters are included, but critics argue that many eligible voters may have been incorrectly deleted.\n\nVoters can verify their status by checking their names on the voter list through electoralsearch.eci.gov.in or voters.eci.gov.in using their EPIC number, personal details, or registered mobile number. If found, they should submit Form 6 through the Citizen Service Portal or a Voter Centre. Form 6, used by new voters, was altered in July to include a declaration about the voter's relationship to entries from previous SIRs.\n\nForm 7 allows registered voters to challenge proposed inclusions or seek removal of existing entries. The SIR process has sparked controversy due to alleged targeted deletions, which the BJP denies, and the timing of the revision before elections. Critics assert that the deletion of eligible voters undermines democratic rights.",
