Election officials clarified that clear visibility of the face is the primary requirement for photos on the SIR enumeration form, not the presence or absence of a hijab. Women electors have sought guidance on photo submissions due to varying instructions from booth level officers regarding head coverings and ear visibility. The Election Commission emphasizes that as long as the face is clearly visible, the photograph will be acceptable for official documentation.
