IAS Optional Courses: https://drishti.xyz/optional-yt-ias-e... ************************************************************************** In this video, we explain the major aspects of the Form 6 row, including the additional declaration introduced in the online voter registration process, the concerns regarding changes to the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, and the debate over whether the declaration modifies the statutory Form 6 or works as an additional requirement. The session also covers the Supreme Court’s observations on Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision, where the Court recognised the ECI’s authority to create a documentation framework for electoral roll revision while stating that such powers are not unlimited and must have a rational connection with the objective of the revision. We also discuss Form 6 under the Representation of the People Act, 1950, Election Commission powers, voter eligibility, electoral roll management and the issues surrounding the new declaration process. This topic is important for UPSC Prelims 2027 and UPSC Mains GS Paper 2, particularly under Indian Polity, Election Commission, Constitutional Bodies, Electoral Reforms, Representation of People Act and Current Affairs. Stay connected with Drishti IAS English for exam-oriented explanations of important Polity, Governance and Current Affairs topics. ************************************************************************** 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 Important 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬- 1.
