Today, On 28th July, The Supreme Court will examine multiple petitions challenging the Election Commission’s decision to conduct a Special Intensive Revision of Bihar’s voter list. The move comes just months before the crucial upcoming state elections.
The Supreme Court of India has suggested allowing Aadhaar, voter ID, and ration cards for verifying voters in Bihar’s electoral roll revision, a move welcomed by the Congress party as vital for democracy. The Election Commission will continue the process amid concerns about its timing, emphasizing the importance of multiple ID options.
The Supreme Court of India has raised concerns over the Election Commission’s voter roll revision in Bihar, questioning its legality and timing ahead of upcoming elections. Political analyst Yogendra Yadav considers this a victory for voter rights, emphasizing the need for transparency and inclusion of key documents for verification.
The Supreme Court Today (July 10) said the Election Commission’s clean-up of Bihar’s voter list is constitutional and logical, but its timing — just before elections — may deprive citizens of their voting rights. The court also questioned why Aadhaar and voter ID cards were not accepted as valid proof.
