<h1>Party delegation raises transparency and disenfranchisement concerns over Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls; Commission pledges simplification</h1> A delegation from a regional political party met the full bench of the Election Commission to raise procedural and transparency concerns about a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in a poll-bound state, including deletions, objections, timing and postal ballots; the Commission assured steps to simplify and increase transparency. The exercise has been criticized as risking disenfranchisement, prompting the Supreme Court to direct inclusion of Aadhaar as valid voter ID and to ensure no eligible citizen is omitted. The Commission noted ongoing extensive consultations with political parties at various administrative levels.
