The Election Commission of India, on 9 October 2026, capped the number of Form 7 applications an individual elector can file to contain bulk submissions seeking deletion of voter names during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls under way in several States. An individual elector can now file a maximum of 10 Form 7 applications during the entire period of claims and objections of a special or summary revision, and up to five applications per month during the continuous updation of electoral rolls. The Commission said unlimited bulk filing by individual electors on unsubstantiated grounds inconveniences the voters objected to and increases the workload on field-level election functionaries.
