Letters to The Editor — October 7, 2026 Transparency, poll trust The Supreme Court of India’s notice to the Election Commission of India over the “modified” Form 6 highlights a simple point: any change to voter registration must follow due legal procedure and be made public. Citizens providing correct details should be able to register without hurdles. Transparency in the Election Commission is essential to restoring public trust. Sankalp Gupta, Dhenkanal, Odisha The Changes concerning voter registration and electoral rolls cannot be treated as routine administrative matters when they directly affect citizens’ democratic rights. The Election Commission must ensure that every decision is transparent, accountable and supported by clear records. At the same time, allegations must be examined on the basis of evidence rather than assumption. Public confidence in elections ultimately depends on institutions being open to scrutiny.
