The Supreme Court on Wednesday questioned the Election Commission’s handling of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Delhi’s voter lists. The court raised concerns over the removal of around 43 lakh voters from the draft electoral roll. It also questioned why some voters were asked to submit Form 6 to rejoin the list. Form 6 is meant for people seeking fresh voter registration. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, asked why voters who were temporarily away from their registered addresses were classified as “shifted or absent.” The court also said the Commission cannot modify Forms 6, 7 and 8.
