Telangana Electoral Rolls Face High Rejection Rate For Form-6 Applications

The Hindu · india

SIR of Electoral Rolls may exclude many genuine voters due to an unusually high rejection rate of Form-6 applications. Nearly 27% of processed Form-6 applications were rejected, with the majority occurring during the pre-SIR phase, indicating a 37% rejection rate then. Social media users have criticized the process, calling it a sham and disputing claims of house-to-house visits by Booth Level Officers. The total number of exclusions from electoral rolls could potentially exceed 80 lakh when combined with deletions.
