14 Objections In 10 Months: Two ECs Flag Form 6, Voter Roll Changes Before ECI

The Election Commission is facing scrutiny after The Indian Express reported that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi raised 14 objections over 10 months regarding decisions linked to voter-roll revision. The objections reportedly covered changes to Form 6 for new voter registration, concerns over access and centralisation of electoral databases, and issues involving voter appeals and software glitches. The two commissioners questioned whether some changes could be made without following the prescribed legal process. The Election Commission has rejected the characterisation of an internal rift, saying differing views are part of deliberations and that decisions are taken unanimously or by majority.
