EC: Previously enrolled voters can submit form 6 for inclusion

What the coverage says
The Election Commission has addressed confusion regarding the Special Intensive Revision process, stating that voters whose names are absent from draft rolls may submit Form 6 for re-inclusion without facing penal consequences. NDTV noted that the clarification was issued amid broader criticism and hesitation over the form's initial declaration language, which implies a first-time application. However, The Hindu reported that petitioners have made an urgent mention in the Supreme Court, pointing out that the ECI is still insisting on Form 6 in Delhi despite the court previously ruling that forcing pre-existing voters to apply as new applicants was an "error."
