With reference to special intensive revision of electoral rolls, which statement is correct?

  1. Form 6 is used for inclusion of a person's name in the electoral roll, including eligible persons left out
  2. Form 6 is used exclusively for deletion of names
  3. Only the Supreme Court can receive a Form 6 application
  4. Every Form 6 applicant must be mapped to the 2002 voter list

Answer

Correct Answer

Form 6 is used for inclusion of a person's name in the electoral roll, including eligible persons left out

Explanation

Form 6 is the application for inclusion of a name, including eligible persons left out during revision. B describes neither its purpose nor the report. Applications are handled through election authorities, not only the Supreme Court. The report also said new voters need not universally be mapped to the 2002 roll, rejecting D.
