EC Allows Form 6 Re-enrolment in Voter Rolls
· India · Times of India
The Election Commission has cleared the use of Form 6 for re-inclusion of voters who were removed from electoral rolls. This applies to all states and union territories across India, covering voters who applied for deletion but now wish to be re-enrolled. The directive follows a 2022 policy that made Form 6 declarations binding for re-enrolment requests. No new penalties or restrictions apply to voters seeking this re-inclusion process.
Why it matters
Millions of Indian voters who were mistakenly or wrongly removed from rolls can now correct their status without legal hurdles, directly impacting electoral participation and representation.
