‘Parental proof first time in roll revision’
Even during the last intensive revision of Bihar in 2002-03, the senior officials in ET gave to ET, no parental birth evidence of voters was sought. “We did not want the documents of the parents. The pronunciation of the applicant was sufficient. Parent details were used only to match the family entrances in the same election zone.” He said.
The same is true during Delhi’s last intense revision in 2008, and the authorities told ET. “Although it was a meticulous exercise to extract copies, no parent certificate was sought. Voters had to show their own identities such as a ration card or electricity bill. He said.
In 2002-03, a secretary serving from a state of revision in a state of intensive revision, ET’ye parental birth or residence evidence confirmed. Approximately 20 states saw such revisions, then watched seven more in 2004-05. “This is probably compulsory to make such evidence.
For this reason, the change in the search for parental documents seems to be aligned with the 2003 Citizenship Law, which requires everyone born between 1987 and 2004 to prove the citizenship of a parent, and for both parents for both parents after 2004.
