ECI's special Bihar revision & new Enumeration Form in alignment with Citizenship Act, 2003
The Election Commission aligns its Special Intensive Revision with the 2003 Citizenship Act. This act requires specific parental citizenship proof based on birth year. Key dates are 1987 and 2004, marking shifts from birthright to descent-based citizenship. The Enumeration Form reflects these citizenship requirements. The 2003 amendment defines 'illegal immigrant'. These changes follow the Assam Accord of 1985.
