The Election Commission on Friday gave a fresh chance to electors of seven states who were marked as Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate (ASDD), and whose names could not be included in the draft rolls during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise there.
The Opposition has been accusing the EC of deleting the names of crores of eligible citizens from the electoral rolls at the behest of the BJP. The party also reiterated its demand that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar must resign or be removed and the SIR be scrapped. “Every new set of orders begs the question: what was the point of this bureaucratic mess that every Indian has been put through? These repeated clarifications and amendments actually expose the true intent of the diabolical PM-HM (Narendra Modi-Amit Shah).
Change of address: Those who have shifted within the state need not file Form 8 for a change of address but must submit the enumeration form along with a statement mentioning their new address and assembly constituency, supported by address proof.
The poll authority has defended the revision, citing its validation by the Supreme Court, while the BJP has said the Congress-led Opposition is merely a sore loser. They have been caught out,” the party said.
