Maharashtra asks EC to fix Form 6 after voters struck off in SIR are told to swear they are new voters

Maharashtra has asked the Election Commission to correct Form 6, the application used to register as a new voter. The request follows reports that some people removed from electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) were being asked to declare that they are new voters. The state's concern is that this requirement could wrongly exclude or confuse genuine voters. The state government has urged the poll body to revise the form's wording and procedure. The matter highlights ongoing questions about how deletions and re-registrations are handled during roll revisions.
