Fourteen objections, one very tidy unanimity
The Election Commission says final SIR decisions were unanimous. The public record still does not show how 14 written objections were resolved.
The Commission says the final SIR decisions were unanimous; the published record does not show how 14 objections were resolved.
The Election Commission says its Special Intensive Revision decisions were taken unanimously. It has not, however, published the decision trail showing how 14 written objections raised by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi were resolved.
Reports said the objections, made between October 2025 and August 2026, covered Form 6, voter deletions and restorations, appeals, electoral-roll software and communications issued in the Commission’s name. The Commission calls such notes “normal” internal deliberation and says the published material is only “one part of the picture”. On September 26, it again said the relevant SIR orders and schedules had unanimous approval.
That may establish the Commission’s position on the final orders. It does not establish what happened to each objection before those orders emerged. The full notes, minutes and signed orders have not been made available in the material reviewed. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra called the process “an exercise in unanimity”, while Congress has demanded the notes be published. Congress’s wider “vote theft” allegations remain unproven. The BJP and the Commission have supplied the verdict; the missing paperwork is still doing the deliberating.
