阿达维特·帕莱普和什鲁蒂·斯里瓦斯塔瓦报道：负责印度全国选举事务的印度选举委员会，在媒体近日报道该委员会内部就一项颇具争议的政策存在分歧后，已放宽选民名单特别强化修订过程中的部分选民身份核验程序。
By Advait Palepu and Shruti Srivastava The Election Commission of India, which is responsible for conducting polls in the country, has eased some processes for voter verification under its special intensive revision of voter list days after a media report alleged internal divisions in the commission over the controversial policy.
这家南亚国家的主要选举机构在周六会议后发表声明称，将要求官员亲自向那些未匹配到地址或文件存在差异的选民收集相关证件；而在早期修订中被遗漏的选民，可通过持续修改程序申请将其姓名纳入选民名单。此外，该机构还成立了一个由资深副选举委员领导的审查小组，负责审查其选民登记软件，以核实该软件是否符合印度法律。
The primary election body of the South Asian nation will mandate its officials to personally collect documents from voters that are unmapped or have discrepancy in documentation, while those left out in earlier revision can seek inclusion under the process of continuous modification, the agency said in a statement following a meeting Saturday. It also created a panel led by a senior deputy election commissioner to review its voter registration software to verify if it follows country’s laws.
该机构还表示，在德里和马哈拉施特拉邦，选民在正在进行的所谓“SIR”（特别强化修订）程序中提出异议和申请登记的截止日期均已延长。
Further, deadlines for objections and claims by voters under the ongoing so-called SIR process have been extended in both Delhi and Maharashtra, the agency said.
此次调整发生在《印度快报》的一项调查报道之后。该调查发现，选举委员会三名成员中有两人多次对与选民名册全面修订相关的决定提出异议，此举引发了反对党对其运作方式和程序的强烈抗议。由于技术和执行层面的问题，该选举机构一直面临持续的批评。
The changes come after an investigation by The Indian Express newspaper found that two of the commission’s three members repeatedly objected to decisions linked to the overhaul of voter rolls, sparking uproar from opposition parties over its conduct and processes. The election body has faced persistent criticism over the exercise due to technical and implementation-related issues.
此次最新修订工作以文件存在差异等理由删除了数百万选民的名字。其中多项措施正在该国法院受到质疑，尽管最高法院今年早些时候已裁定该程序符合宪法。自2025年6月以来，在二十多个邦和联邦直辖区，已有超过1.3亿人的姓名被从选民名册草案中移除。
The latest exercise has led to the deletion of millions of voters citing discrepancies in documentation among other issues. Several of those actions are being contested in the nation’s courts even as the apex court upheld its constitutional validity earlier this year. Since June 2025, more than 130 million names have been left off the draft electoral rolls across more than two dozen states and Union Territories.
该委员会重申，决定在全国范围内开展这次选民名单核查工作是在所有三位委员的一致同意下作出的。委员会还表示，今后将公开发布三位委员之间的会议记录。
The commission reiterated that decisions to conduct the revision exercise across the country were unanimous among the three members. The agency will issue minutes of meetings between the three members going forward, it said.
《印度快报》本周报道称，在过去的10个月里，两位选举委员至少14次对相关选举程序提出了质疑。根据报道，苏克比尔·辛格·桑杜（Sukhbir Singh Sandhu）和维韦克·乔希（Vivek Joshi）正式反对那些涉及选民登记、选民信息删除、选民信息恢复以及选举数据库管理的决定。
The Indian Express reported this week that two election commissioners raised concerns about the SIR at least 14 times over a 10-month period. Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, formally objected to decisions concerning voter registrations, deletions, restorations and control of the electoral database, according to the report.
由于这些指控，反对党以及由年轻人领导的“Cockroach Janata Party”组织要求印度首席选举委员吉亚内什·库马尔（Gyanesh Kumar）辞职。
Opposition parties and youth-led movement Cockroach Janata Party have called for the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar, India’s Chief Election Commissioner, over the allegations.
此次选民名单核查工作实质上是对现有选民名单的重新审核，目的是剔除已故选民、重复登记的选民以及不符合投票资格的选民。在这一过程中，现有选民需要根据他们在2002年至2004年间进行的最后一次选民名单核查中的记录来证明自己的投票资格；而新选民及年轻选民则需要证明他们的父母或祖父母曾在之前的选民名单核查中被登记在册。
The SIR is essentially a re-verification of electoral rolls to remove dead, duplicate and ineligible voters. Under the process, voters have to prove their eligibility based on their names in the previous intensive revision that was conducted between 2002 and 2004. While existing voters have to prove they are eligible to vote, new and younger voters have to prove that their parents or grandparents were listed in the previous SIR.
