Election Commission Denies Allegations of Changes to Form 6 During SIR Process

The Election Commission has denied the allegations of change in Form 6 during SIR. The Commission says that it has not changed even a comma, full stop, in the original Form 6. The Commission has said that the additional form of the manifesto was added to Form 6 during the SIR. The Commission says that its protocol was made at the time of Bihar's SIR last year. It was challenged in the Supreme Court. The Court said on that protocol after the hearing that it is within the scope of the constitutional powers granted to the Election Commission. The Commission says that the additional manifesto was also included in the protocol. The Election Commission has also factchecked Rahul Gandhi's tweet and called his claim on Form 6 false. The Election Commission says that the statement made in this post is misleading. The Commission has said that the order issued on 24 June 2025 for SIR in Bihar was issued with the unanimous approval of the Election Commission. The Court of India in its judgment dated 27 May 2026 in Press Note 1 of ECI 2026 has held that this press note is correct.
