What's behind this
The Election Commission of India clarified that voters whose names have been deleted from the electoral rolls can file Form 6 to seek re‑inclusion without fear of prosecution or “false declaration” charges. This clarification, which affirms that it is okay to use Form 6 for re‑inclusion, follows a Delhi High Court order concerning voter enrolment through the form. The commission’s statement aims to alleviate concerns among previously enrolled voters about potential legal consequences when applying for reinstatement.
