The Election Commission informed the Madras High Court that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) will prepare a new voter list in Tamil Nadu. Unlike the annual SSR, every existing voter must submit fresh details for verification.
Today (5th April): The Election Commission opposed DMK’s writ petition on EVM design in the Madras High Court, stating that EVMs have been used since the 1980s without proven tampering incidents. The petition questioned the placement of VVPAT printers and sought procedures for EVM approval and guidelines for returning officers. The court adjourned further hearing to June 20.
