The Supreme Court of India has ordered the Election Commission of India (ECI) to accept Aadhaar as one of the valid identity documents—alongside 11 others—for voters excluded during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s electoral rolls . The court emphasized the need for a “voter-friendly” process, allowing applicants to submit claims online and physical forms by September 1 . It also expressed surprise at political parties’ inaction, directing 12 parties to actively assist affected voters, and demanded transparency in corrections. (PC: NDTV)
