Sandhu tells DEC and DG (IT) to remove Form 6 change

Citing the July report, Sandhu wrote to the Deputy Election Commissioner and the DG in charge of IT, copying the CEC and Joshi, that the Form 6 change was unauthorised and illegal and must be removed at once so first-time voters could register without harassment.

The question was still on the form on the morning of 21 Sep 2026, per The Indian Express.
