Election Commission removes controversial Form 6 change after Commissioners' objections
- The Election Commission has removed the extra SIR declaration from online Form 6 in states where the revision is over.
- The move follows a September 26 decision that regular statutory forms would be used when no SIR is underway.
- Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had objected to adding the declaration without changing the rules.
- The extra declaration will still be required in states and Union Territories where the Special Intensive Revision is ongoing.
