Electoral Rolls Under Scrutiny: The Supreme Court, Special Intensive Revision, and Bihar’s Democratic Test

Election Laws By 0

This article critically examines the SC’s intervention in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s voter list and its implications for Indian democracy. It highlights how the EC’s new requirements demand extensive documentation to reapply, even for long registered voters, shift the burden of proof of citizenship onto individuals, disproportionately affecting marginalized groups such as rural women and migrant workers. The piece argues that such measures risk undermining universal suffrage, constitutional guarantees, and the inclusiveness of India’s democratic process.
