After the Supreme Court recently upheld the Election Commission’s SIR exercise, senior advocate Colin Gonsalves explains why the ruling is unsettling, what it means for deleted voters, and why he believes the poor will bear the heaviest burden
On May 27, the Supreme Court upheld the Election Commission’s power to conduct a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, a ruling that could shape similar voter-list exercises in other states. An SIR is a large-scale verification of voter lists. Its stated purpose is to clean up electoral rolls by removing duplicate entries, names of dead voters, and people who may not be eligible to vote.
