EC gives fresh chance to voters excluded from draft SIR rolls in Delhi, Maharashtra, 5 other states
By Himanshi Dahiya5 min read at Hindustan Times
In brief
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that voters excluded from draft electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) can seek re-inclusion without filing Form 6, offering an alternative enumeration process.
The ECI clarified that this applies to electors marked absent, shifted, dead, or duplicate (ASDD) across Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana, and Nagaland.
The decision follows scrutiny from the Supreme Court and High Courts regarding the statutory requirements for voter re-registration.

Most of the electors struck off draft rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) can now seek re-inclusion without filing Form 6, the Election Commission of India (ECI) said on Friday. The Form 6 route remains available, it clarified, but it is not the only option.
In a letter addressed to the chief electoral officers (CEOs) of Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana and Nagaland, the Commission said electors marked Absent, Shifted, Dead or Duplicate (ASDD), and thus excluded from the draft roll, will get “one more opportunity” to be included in the final roll. Accepted applicants will get the same EPIC number they held before the SIR, indicating they are being treated as existing electors rather than first-time enrollees. These categories together account for around 130 million of the 134 million people struck off the rolls.
