What Happened
The Election Commission of India has released draft electoral rolls for 12 states and union territories as part of the third phase of its Special Intensive Revision exercise. Data indicates that 1.58 crore names have been removed from these rolls during the current revision cycle. The process involves a nationwide effort to update voter lists, with several regions having already completed their draft publications while others remain in the revision phase.
The commission provides a window for the public to submit claims and objections, which allows for the potential addition of new voters or the correction of existing entries. This mechanism is intended to ensure the accuracy of the final electoral rolls. Additional states, including Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Punjab, are scheduled to publish their respective draft lists throughout the coming months.
