Activists flag gaps in Election Commission's nationwide voter roll revision

Resumen del corpus

Activists questioned the Election Commission's process for the nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging a lack of transparency regarding decision-making and procedural changes. They cited contradictions between the Commission's affidavit before the Supreme Court and earlier RTI responses, demanding records on decisions, the centralization of the database, and the authority to modify voter names. Concerns were raised about whether officials acted without proper authorization and the handling of appeals related to West Bengal's electoral rolls.
