It’s not only existing voters not covered in previous Special Intensive Revision (SIR) who have to submit their parents’ SIR details to remain on the electoral rolls, but also the new applicants seeking inclusion in the voter list, according to EC officials.
By issuing instructions, the Election Commission (EC) has made it mandatory to attach SIR details of parents for new voters filling Form 6 for inclusion in the electoral rolls.
