Kerala political parties criticized the Department of Non-Resident Keralites Affairs (NoRKA) for not organizing an online meeting to address overseas electors' concerns related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Chief Electoral Officer Rathan U. Kelkar said the Election Commission requested NoRKA to hold the meeting, but NoRKA has yet to respond. Mohammed Shah, State secretary of the Indian Union Muslim League, said, “NoRKA has not called together the meeting yet. If they are not willing they should say so publicly. You (the Election Commission of India) will not extend the December 4 deadline (of the enumeration phase) and they wont’t call a meeting. It would have been a confidence building measure.” The demand for this meeting arose because Keralites working abroad fear they might be excluded from the SIR rolls. Political parties want SIR rescheduled ahead of the 2025 local body elections on December 9 and 11. M. Vijayakumar of CPI(M) called the SIR schedule “very negative” for Kerala and lamented the Supreme Court’s stance. M.K. Rahman of Congress requested the Election Commission to announce the appeal schedule following the draft roll publication on December 9. The BJP, represented by J.R. Padmakumar, criticized the plan to include all individuals who submit enumeration forms in the draft rolls. He said, “If all individuals who have signed and submitted the forms are included in the draft and remain in the rolls if no objection is raised against them, what is the purpose of this exercise?” Other party representatives including Sathyan Mokeri (CPI), Mathew George (Kerala Congress), and K. Jayakumar and P.G. Prasannakumar (RSP) also spoke at the meeting. The issue remains unresolved as the December deadlines approach.
