EC Clarifies Voter Re-Registration Process in Supreme Court

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has clarified before the Supreme Court that people whose names have been removed from electoral rolls can apply for re-registration through Form 6. The Commission stated that eligible individuals who do not have their names registered in any other constituency can submit fresh applications without any fear of prosecution.

The ECI also informed the court that special arrangements are being made to identify voters whose names have been deleted and facilitate their re-registration. The clarification is aimed at ensuring that eligible citizens do not lose their opportunity to exercise their voting rights due to the removal of their names from electoral rolls.
