From 24 June 2025, anyone in Bihar applying to be a new elector on Form 6, or shifting in from another state on Form 8, also had to file a Declaration Form (Annexure D) stating their birth-date tier and attaching documents from the SIR list. The requirement was written into the SIR order and guidelines, not into the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, where Form 6 is prescribed. Pending Form 6 applications also had to be supplemented with the declaration.
The Supreme Court judgment of 27.05.2026 records the Annexure D requirement among the features of the order it upheld (para 45(f)).
The SIR orders the Commission cites prescribe a separate Declaration Form, headed 'To be submitted along with Form 6/Form 8'. The record holds no notified amendment to Form 6 in the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960 (per The Indian Express's review of the Gazette, noted on ). The before/after text is on the rules page.
