The Election Commission of India’s latest press note has raised questions over its handling of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Hindu’s editorial argues that the Commission’s administrative concessions do little to address concerns over voter deletions, the appeals process, and accountability for exclusions in West Bengal. It also examines the Supreme Court’s handling of the SIR and calls for changes to the committee responsible for appointing Election Commissioners. #ElectionCommission #ECI #SIR #ElectoralRolls
