Supreme Court Seeks Government Response on Aadhaar-Based Electoral Verification
The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre and state governments on a petition advocating for Aadhaar as the sole identity proof for electoral registration. The plea argues that the current verification mechanism under Form-6 is insufficient and risks including ineligible individuals in voter rolls without proper documentation.
The petition raises concerns about gaps in the existing electoral database verification process. It seeks to strengthen voter identity authentication through Aadhaar integration to ensure electoral integrity and prevent fraudulent registrations.
