EC clarifies procedure for SIR notices on electoral discrepancies

The Election Commission of India has issued clarifications on the procedure to be followed by candidates who receive Show Cause notices (SIR) regarding unmapped or logical discrepancies in electoral records.

The announcement followed a full Commission meeting held at Nirvachan Sadan on Saturday. The EC guidance aims to help candidates understand their rights and the steps involved in responding to such notices.

The move is intended to streamline the process and ensure transparency in addressing discrepancies flagged during electoral operations.
