Experts seek clarity on why deleted voters must use Form 6 and call on the EC to explain its decisions publicly.
Can deleted voters be asked to submit Form 6 again? What experts say
RTI activist Anjali Bharadwaj and protocol expert Mohammad Amin question ECs handling of Form 6, alleged wrongful voter deletions, latest clarification on SIR
The latest clarification by the Election Commission (EC) that previously enrolled voters can submit Form-6 for re-enrolment without facing penal action for making incorrect declarations has raised questions about the legality of the changes, the treatment of voters whose names were deleted during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and the Commission's compliance with Supreme Court observations.
“The Election Commission had altered the online Form 6 process in a manner that is not legally permissible,” said RTI activist Anjali Bharadwaj in The Federal’s AI With Sanket show.
Meanwhile, former Election Commission official Mohammad Amin questioned why the Election Commission was insisting on Form 6 when other forms were available for voters. He also maintained that EC must address its internal differences and explain its decisions publicly.
