Overview

  • Following a DMK-led multi-party meeting in Chennai, participants resolved to petition the Supreme Court to halt the second phase of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
  • The proposed SIR is slated for 12 states and union territories, including Tamil Nadu, after an initial rollout in Bihar.
  • Chief Minister M.K. Stalin contends the expedited process risks disenfranchising genuine voters and urges that comprehensive revisions be taken up after the 2026 polls.
  • A case contesting the Bihar phase of the SIR is already pending before the Supreme Court.
  • Actor-politician Vijay’s TVK skipped the meeting and accused the DMK of political theatrics over SIR, triggering a public spat between the two parties.
