In States where the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is not currently ongoing, the Election Commission (EC) has reverted to allowing the online submission of Form 6, which is used for fresh voter registration, without having to complete an attached declaration that had been brought in for the SIR.

While Form 6 is normally used for new voter registrations, during the SIR process, it was also used for re-enlisting those who had been deleted during the enumeration phase. A separate declaration had been added to the physical form regarding the mapping of self or parents with electoral rolls from the period of the previous SIR.
