# Supreme Court questions Election Commission on Delhi voter list revision 2026-10-28T13:41:16+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Supreme Court on Wednesday (28 October) questioned the Election Commission over the special intensive revision (SIR) of the Delhi voter list, specifically asking why voters whose names were in the draft list under 'shifted or absent' category are being asked to fill Form-6, meant for new registrations. The court observed that Forms 6, 7 and 8 are fixed formats that the commission cannot alter. The court also asked why a 30 October deadline was set when no election is imminent in the national capital. It suggested that the commission should proactively reach voters rather than only wait for applications. The Election Commission indicated a willingness to extend the deadline if needed. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both bhaskar.com and amarujala.com provide near-identical straight reporting of the Supreme Court hearing on the Delhi SIR, focusing on the court's questions to the Election Commission.
