The Election Commission of India (EC) tells the Supreme Court that SIR orders concerning voter registration were approved unanimously and that reports claiming otherwise are misleading. In an affidavit, the EC says Form 6-related statements used to register new voters are not accurate.
According to multiple outlets, the EC also argues that the SIR orders it issued on specific dates were lawful and received unanimous approval within the commission. Mint reports the EC’s counter-affidavit states that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the two other election commissioners approved orders dated June 24, 2025, October 27, 2025, and May 14, 2026.
While the core message is consistent across sources—unanimous approval and the EC disputing misleading claims—coverage differs in emphasis. Scroll.in highlights the “misleading” nature of reports about Form 6, while India Today foregrounds the legality and unanimous approval of the SIR orders, repeating the same theme in multiple headlines.
