SVEEP, through a targeted
outreach, aims to make the
elec ons more par cipatory and
inclusive. However, data on
voters could officially be
disaggregated into age, gender
and loca on components only
from the Form 6 (voter
registra on form). As per the
report of the R.R. Diwakar
Commi ee – set up by the
Cons tuent Assembly in May,
1949 – the electoral roll/form
could have no column for
religion or caste. To make the
enrollment more inclusive, the
status of third gender and a
column to mark disability status
(op onal) were added in the
Form 6 in recent years.
