Amid reports of people filing forms in bulk seeking removal of electors from voters lists, the Election Commission on Friday placed limits on individuals submitting such objections.
The EC has prescribed limits on the number of Form 7 applications an individual elector can file to object to the inclusion of names or seek deletion of names from electoral rolls.
During the claims and objections period, an individual elector can file a maximum of 10 Form 7 applications throughout the entire period.
During continuous updating of electoral rolls, the limit is five applications per month.
The move aims to discourage bulk filing of unsubstantiated objections, reduce inconvenience to voters and ease the workload of election officials.
The poll authority wrote to all state chief electoral officers to put in place the new system.

Protesting at Ramlila Maidan, one of the three new demonstration sites in Delhi, can become a distant as well as costly affair, as the site has no free dates for the next two and a half months and even then, the booking amount can soar to upwards of Rs 1 lakh.
Officials in the know said the 12-acre ground, which can accommodate 50,000 people, can now be booked only for December 29, 30 and 31 this year.
"The booking rate for the ground is Rs 50,000 per day, plus a Rs 55,000 security deposit that is refundable. The initial outlay including taxes comes to Rs 1.21 lakh for a day's booking," an official said.
Civic officials clarified that a small portion of the ground is free for protests and gatherings, but it has a capacity of only 150 people.
The ground is booked through the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's horticulture department, which grants the permission. A no-objection certificate from Delhi Police is mandatory before the civic body clears an application.
