ASDD voters get way back to electoral rolls without Form 6, but not in all states
By Himanshi Dahiya4 min read at Hindustan Times
In brief
The Election Commission of India announced that electors marked Absent, Shifted, Dead or Duplicate can be restored to electoral rolls without filing Form 6 in seven states where Special Intensive Revision is ongoing.
The Supreme Court had previously questioned the ECI on why deleted voters needed to file Form 6 instead of Form 8.
However, this restoration mechanism is unavailable in 17 states and Union Territories where Special Summary Revision has already been announced.

Electors marked Absent, Shifted, Dead or Duplicate (ASDD) and left out of the draft electoral rolls can now be included without filing Form 6, the standard application for new voters. In a letter dated November 6, the Election Commission of India (ECI) said such electors can submit the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) Enumeration Form along with a short signed statement in Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana and Nagaland, where the revision is still underway.
It will also be applicable for those who have not filed Annexure-B explaining why they missed the earlier round. Those who shifted within the state can file Annexure-C with the new address and address proof, and do not need Form 8, which is meant for enrolled voters to update or modify their details in the electoral roll.
That is the opening of Hindustan Times’s story. The full report is on their site.
