<h1>SIR linking voter rolls to 2002 register risks mass disenfranchisement in refugee communities, threatening dozens of assembly seats</h1> A Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls requiring linkage to the 2002 register has sparked fear of mass disenfranchisement in a refugee-dominated community across several border districts, potentially affecting dozens of assembly seats. Many community members lack pre-2002 documentation, and the national party and the state party are locked in blame and competing outreach-promising relief under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or state protection-while offering no clear remedy for those who arrived after 2002 or post-2014. Local leaders warn large numbers could be removed from rolls, creating significant electoral fallout and community unrest.
