<h1>Chief Minister challenges Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision procedures under Registration of Electors Rules, 1960 over Aadhaar and deletions</h1> A state chief minister, citing the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, challenged the Election Commission's procedures for Special Intensive Revision (SIR), asking why Aadhaar cannot be accepted as proof of a voter's claim and whether the Commission will account for practical difficulties that may lead to large-scale deletions of eligible voters. He questioned low new-enrolment figures, potential exclusion of 18-year-olds, and whether the inquiry and two-appeal timelines under the rules could disenfranchise voters, and sought prompt removal of deceased names per a prior notification. The Election Commission responded that roll revision aims to correct shortcomings and denied allegations of double voting or misconduct.
