Tamil Nadu Parties to Challenge Electoral Roll Revision in Supreme Court

Parties led by Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK have decided to approach the Supreme Court against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. An all-party meeting chaired by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin resolved to challenge the process, terming it 'anti-democratic' and hastily implemented ahead of the 2026 state assembly elections. The parties argue the revision could unfairly remove genuine voters from the rolls, citing alleged irregularities during a similar exercise conducted in Bihar, a case still pending before the court.
