Special Intensive Revision Process Questioned Over Voter Removal Risks

The court scrutinised the SIR mechanism, asking why a procedure designed to update the electoral roll appears to be pushing existing voters out of the system. It observed that even though the commission claims to be focusing only on the draft roll, the impact on the standing voter list is evident. Judges warned that forcing voters to submit Form 6 when their names still appear in the official roll, simply because the draft does not show them, undermines the purpose of the SIR.
