In states where the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists is already done, you no longer need to fill out the extra SIR declaration on Form 6. That’s the online form used to register as a voter. Why does this matter? Because SIR has become a political flashpoint; with parties accusing each other of inflating or suppressing voter rolls. By removing the extra field post-revision, the EC is basically saying: “We’ve cleaned up here; no need to re-verify.” This isn’t a small tweak. It streamlines the voter process for millions; especially in states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu where SIR was completed months ago. But it also quietly signals that the EC is drawing a line: once a state’s voter list is verified, it’s closed for further political tinkering. For aspirants: if you’re applying for exams that require proof of voter registration, or even if you’re just registering for the first time in an SIR-completed state; this update saves you time, paperwork, and confusion. The bigger story? The EC is using process, not politics, to control the narrative; and that’s a win for clean governance.
