EC SIR Row Explained: What Changes In Form 6 Did 2 Election Commissioners Question?

The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process has come under scrutiny over changes made to Form 6, with Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi reportedly raising objections. The changes sought details of an applicant’s parents, including their SIR status, Assembly constituency and booth numbers, while also introducing an option for cases where parents were not part of the SIR. The online and printed versions of the form also reportedly differed. According to the Indian Express report cited in the transcript, the two commissioners questioned the changes and flagged concerns over their authorisation, including whether amendments to the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960 were required.
