Election Commission Caps Form 7 Bulk Filing at 10 per Voter

The Election Commission issued an order limiting bulk filing of Form 7, which is used for raising objections to voter list entries, to a maximum of ten per elector. The decision follows complaints that political parties were submitting large numbers of Form 7 applications in bulk, potentially disrupting the electoral roll update process. Officials said the cap aims to prevent misuse while still allowing genuine objections. The move comes as the EC prepares for upcoming state elections and seeks to ensure the integrity of the voter list. No further details were provided in the lead.
