SIR Row: ECI Eases Verification Process | Relief For Voters With Discrepancies | News18

Delhi SIR latest: The Election Commission has eased the process for voters who receive notices during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) for being “unmapped” or having “logical discrepancies.”Under the latest decision, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will visit voters’ homes to collect the required documents and upload them to ECINet for consideration by the Electoral Registration Officer.Such voters will generally not have to appear personally before the ERO or AERO. Hearings will be held only in exceptional circumstances and, preferably, online. An adult family member can also be authorised to attend an online hearing on behalf of the elector, if required.The decision comes amid the ongoing controversy over Delhi SIR, voter-roll discrepancies, ECINet and the functioning of the Election Commission. The Supreme Court had earlier questioned the issuance of some “logical discrepancy” notices and suggested greater human verification and easier ways for voters to respond.The ECI has also said that its decisions on the SIR exercise were taken unanimously.Watch for the latest updates on Gyanesh Kumar, Election Commission, SIR, voter rolls, ECINet and Delhi’s electoral-roll controversy. n18oc_indian18oc_politicsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
