Election Commission Mandates Parents' SIR Details For New Voters In Bihar
The Election Commission has introduced a new requirement for individuals seeking to register as voters in Bihar. All new applicants must now provide their parents' SIR details when submitting Form 6 to be included in the electoral rolls.
The Election Commission of India has updated the registration protocol for new voters across Bihar. Under the new mandate, applicants are required to include specific parent SIR details alongside their Form 6 submissions to ensure accurate identification and record-keeping.
This verification measure is intended to streamline the addition of new names to the state's electoral rolls. By linking parent details directly to the application, the commission aims to enhance the integrity of the voter database and reduce duplicate entries.
Officials have instructed local election offices to ensure all incoming applications comply with this revised standard. Failure to provide the mandated SIR information may lead to delays in the processing of voter ID cards for first-time applicants. Source: Election Commission.
