Clarifying the procedures for re-enrollment of voters missing from draft electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday said that voters can submit Form 6 to seek inclusion of their names in the final rolls and this submission will not be considered a false declaration if certain conditions are met.
The clarification came following a Delhi
High Court order concerning voter enrolment through Form 6 that has a clause for declaration that says that “I was never enrolled as voter earlier” and that the applicant is seeking inclusion in the voters' list for the first time.
