The ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in India has seen a massive deletion of voter names. Over 6.5 crore electors were removed from draft rolls in nine States and three Union Territories, lowering voters from 51 crore to 44.4 crore. Most deletions were in Uttar Pradesh (2.89 crore), Tamil Nadu (97 lakh), and Gujarat (74 lakh). This mass removal is linked to numerous Form 7 applications being filed. Form 7 lets individuals object to names on the electoral roll for reasons like death, duplication, or moving away. Since 2022, any voter in a constituency—not just those from the same booth—can file these objections. However, the Election Commission requires special verification if a person files more than five objections. The Congress accused the misuse of Form 7 as a “systemic and coordinated” effort to remove legitimate voters and aid BJP's electoral gains. Reporting from Rajasthan and Gujarat found people claiming their signatures were forged on such application forms. The Election Commission says it is conducting physical verification and issuing notices before final deletions. Booth Level Officers visit addresses and verify deaths or shifts via neighbors and documents. Appeals can be made to district magistrates within 15 days. With over 50.94 crore enumeration forms distributed, the scale of objections amid tight timelines raises questions on fairness and administrative capacity. Filing false declarations under Section 32 of the Representation of the People Act can lead to imprisonment or fines. Critics warn that unchecked misuse could disenfranchise millions, especially from marginalized communities. The Election Commission continues its efforts to verify and protect the voters' rights during this critical revision process.
