Supreme Court questions forcing deleted Delhi voters to file first-time voter Form 6

The Supreme Court on 28 October 2026 questioned why Delhi voters already on the 2026 electoral roll, whose names were omitted from the draft roll, must file Form 6, a form meant for first-time voters that requires declaring they were never enrolled. Justice Joymalya Bagchi called the situation a structural incongruity, observing that missing one enumeration form cannot forfeit the right to vote forever, and the Election Commission's counsel said it would discuss a new residual category for voters who missed the enumeration form. The bench also noted that about 47 lakh of Delhi's 1.45 crore voters had been deleted, and listed the matter again in two weeks. Source: Telegraph India (Telegraphindia)
