India's Election Commissioners dissent over voter roll revision legality and constitutional process
Two of three Indian Election Commissioners—Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi—raised 14 objections to aspects of the SIR (Special Intensive Revision) voter roll process over 10 months, according to an investigation by the Indian Express. The Indian Express investigation found the objections center on constitutional and legal questions regarding the revision process's legitimacy. Per ThePrint's analysis, the dissent signals internal friction within India's Election Commission on a core electoral procedure.
