Voters left out in SIR can reapply without 2002-roll details: CEC Odisha

Bhubaneswar, Oct 1(UNI) Eligible citizens whose names are missing from the electoral rolls can continue to seek enrolment through Form 6 even after completion of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)-2026, the election authorities here said on Thursday, amid controversy over the additional requirements attached to the form during the revision exercise.
The Form 6 requirement had become a contentious issue during the SIR, with concerns being raised over the need for applicants to furnish details linked to the 2002 electoral roll and establish whether their parents or grandparents figured in the earlier roll. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has now removed the additional declaration relating to the 2002 roll from Form 6 for post-SIR applications.
Consequently, eligible citizens whose names were omitted during the SIR will not have to furnish details of the 2002 electoral roll, or information on whether their parents or grandparents were listed in it, while applying afresh through Form 6.
