DMK Challenges Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of Tamil Nadu Electoral Rolls in Supreme Court

Nov 03, 2025 11:59 pm CST

Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK party has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, arguing it violates constitutional rights and could disenfranchise legitimate voters through unreasonable documentation requirements. The petition claims the exercise is unnecessary after a recent revision in January 2025 and effectively transforms voter verification into an unauthorized citizenship determination process.
