India's Election Commission says all voter list revision orders were unanimous and upheld by Supreme Court

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Election Commission of India issued a statement asserting that all Special Intensive Revision (SIR) orders were approved unanimously by all three Election Commissioners. The statement addressed reports of disagreements between Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. The commission clarified that letters from the two commissioners were about an officer's work, not policy. It also noted that the Supreme Court upheld changes to Form 6 for voter list inclusion. The SIR process, which updates voter lists, began in June 2025 and continues in phases across states.
