Declaration part of Form 6 changed since SIR in Bihar

The declaration accompanying Form 6, which was introduced for the first time during the first phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar last year, has undergone substantial changes in the later phases.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) uses Form 6 for fresh voter registrations.

In Bihar, the declaration form was sought to confirm the exact time period of the birth of a new voter, whether it was before 1987, between 1987 and 2004, or after 2004, based on which the prospective voter had to submit documents.
