Maharashtra Seeks 'Form 6' Change For Voters Removed In SIR To Apply Again

What happened: The Election Commission has directed voters left out of electoral rolls during SIR to use Form 6 to seek inclusion again, and Maharashtra is seeking a change to that form for these voters. Why it matters: Form 6 is generally used by people applying to register as voters, so the directive repurposes it for voters removed during SIR who want to reapply.
