flag India's Election Commission defends its power to remove foreigners from voter rolls via Special Intensive Revision, facing legal challenges over procedure and transparency.

flag The Election Commission told the Supreme Court it has constitutional authority to conduct a Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls to exclude foreigners, citing Articles 324, 325, and 326, and denying that the process resembles the NRC. flag Senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi argued the EC’s role in maintaining a citizen-centric electorate is non-negotiable and not overridden by statutes. flag Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien petitioned the court over procedural flaws in West Bengal’s SIR, alleging the EC used informal channels like WhatsApp for directives, leading to mass deletions without notice and raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and voter rights. flag The court continues hearing challenges to the SIR across multiple states.
