Supreme Court to Hear Petitions on Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of Voter Rolls
December 2, 2025
The Supreme Court will continue hearing on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, on multiple petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had asked the Election Commission to respond to a plea by MDMK founder Vaiko, who challenged the SIR decision in Tamil Nadu. Other parties like the ruling DMK and actor-turned-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) also filed cases against the SIR in the state.
In separate affidavits, the Election Commission of India submitted to the Supreme Court that 95.65% of voters in Tamil Nadu and 99.77% in West Bengal have already received pre-filled enumeration forms. The EC rejected claims of "mass disenfranchisement."
