The Election Commission of India has refused to disclose the name and version of the software used during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls, citing protection of trade secrets and intellectual property under the RTI Act. The Commission stated no new software was developed or procured for SIR, and electoral registration officers decide voter inclusion based on facts and records. This response followed an RTI request from a Telangana activist.
