Event Summary

The India — Supreme Court of India has asked the India — Election Commission of India (ECI) to sympathetically consider extending the deadline for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in India — Kerala. This request comes in light of the forthcoming local body elections in India — Kerala, which are scheduled for December 9 and 11, with vote counting on December 13. The ECI had already extended the original deadline from December 4 to December 11. The India — Kerala government, along with political parties like the India — Communist Party of India (Marxist), India — Communist Party of India, and India — Indian Union Muslim League, had filed petitions seeking a further extension, arguing that political workers and government employees engaged in local body election duties would find it difficult to participate effectively in the SIR process. The India — Supreme Court of India has permitted the India — Kerala government to submit a formal proposal to the India — Election Commission of India by December 3, detailing reasons for seeking an extension, and has directed the India — Election Commission of India to decide on the matter by December 4.
