Form 6

The central issue is the distinction between Form 6 itself and the separate declaration introduced alongside it during the Bihar SIR process. The Election Commission maintains that the statutory form was not modified, while the Supreme Court's proceedings have kept attention on the legal and procedural aspects of the electoral-roll revision.

Clear documentation of the legal basis, supporting declarations and procedures followed during SIR will remain important for public understanding of the process.

The Goa voter-roll controversy has focused attention on 97 voters who were found eligible but were left out of the final roll during the SIR process.

Telangana Congress held statewide protests on September 28, 2026, raising concerns over the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
