EC splits voter inclusion form and declaration in online version

EC splits voter inclusion form and declaration in online version

What's behind this

The Election Commission has acted on a Supreme Court affidavit/directive by separating the new voter enrolment form (Form 6) and its accompanying declaration into two distinct online submissions in states where the SIR exercise is underway. The commission had already withdrawn the declaration from its digital platform in September. The split now requires separate OTPs for each part and allows previously enrolled voters to reapply if their names are missing.
