All Decision were Unanimous-CEC filed affidavit in the Supreme Court

The Election Commission, in its affidavit filed in the Supreme Court today, explained its decision-making process that has come into question after reports that two of the three Commissioners were not on board with the process adopted for the Special Intensive Revision of voter list and inclusion of new voters. Asserting that all decisions are unanimous, the Commission said the petitions on the matter filed in the top court are based solely on newspaper reports and should be dismissed.

The Commission reiterated that the three orders related to the SIR process issued in June 2025, October 2025, and May 2026 were also adopted unanimously.

The Commission said any decision-making process, suggestions, observations, varying views or queries by any official in the chain of command are taken into consideration for arriving at a decision. So the views of Election Commissioners are taken into account for the decision-making process. Any comments, questions, or suggestions made by the CEC or the Election Commissioners during the consideration of a file cannot be construed as the final decision of the Commission.
