PoliticsEC Removes Parent Details Requirement for New Voters in 20 States
The Election Commission has amended Form 6 to remove the requirement for new voters in 20 states to provide parent or grandparent details on electoral rolls, where Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is complete. In states where SIR is ongoing, the declaration remains mandatory. This change follows internal objections within the EC and was clarified as unanimously approved by all commissioners, with the Supreme Court upholding the SIR declaration.
