Controversy regarding additional declaration in Form 6, pending in Supreme Court

The additional declaration added by the Election Commission to Form 6, which asks for information about whether the applicant's parents or grandparents were in the previous voter list, has been a matter of controversy. The Election Commission says this was a separate requirement to the SIR, while critics and two other election commissioners believe it was a change in the statutory form and required an amendment to the rules. The Supreme Court clearly stated that it has not approved the revised Form 6 and sought records as to who changed it.
