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. For voters and political parties, the larger issue is transparency in the preparation and revision of electoral rolls. Clear documentation of the legal basis, supporting declarations and procedures followed during SIR will remain important for public understanding of the process.

Congress’s campaign shifts its SIR criticism from political statements to booth-level mobilisation, with the party planning to identify affected voters and assist eligible people with re-enrolment. The use of “vote rakshaks” and household outreach indicates an effort to turn the electoral-roll dispute into a grassroots campaign. The controversy remains politically contested: Congress alleges large-scale voter deletions and demands accountability from the Election Commission, while the poll panel maintains that the SIR process follows the applicable legal and statutory framework. The scale and organisation of the campaign could keep electoral-roll transparency and voter registration at the centre of the Opposition’s political agenda.

Karnataka CM D.K. Shivakumar has alleged that BJP and JD(S) figures were involved in attempts to delete eligible voters through bulk Form-7 applications during the SIR exercise.
