EC provides link to SIR guidelines in response to RTI query on appraisal for the exercise; adds ‘further, no information available’

Transparency activist Anjali Bhardwaj’s RTI queries to the Election Commission regarding the basis for the nationwide special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls have yielded surprising responses. The EC claims no files exist on the decision-making process and provided a 2025 order when asked about Bihar’s 2003 roll revision, raising concerns about transparency and potential information concealment.
