An NGO has approached the Supreme Court challenging the Election Commission’s special voter roll revision in Bihar. It warned that due process flaws and tight deadlines may lead to lakhs of genuine voters being disenfranchised.
Today, On 25th June, The Bombay High Court dismissed a plea alleging irregularities in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections. “A whole day of this Court was wasted in hearing the petition,” the Bench remarked, though it chose not to impose costs.
The Election Commission has opposed extending the storage of polling booth footage beyond 45 days, stating it could be “contrary to voter privacy and safety,” despite calls from opposition leaders for increased transparency in the election process.
The Election Commission has strongly rejected Rahul Gandhi’s allegation of “match-fixing” in the upcoming Maharashtra elections, calling it “completely absurd” and citing a document from April to clarify its stand on the matter.
