Supreme Court Directs Election Commission to Publish Deleted Voter Names in Kerala

The Supreme Court has directed the Election Commission to publish the names of voters deleted from Kerala's draft electoral rolls following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. Petitioners, including senior political leaders, raised concerns about nearly 24 lakh names being removed due to technical errors and lack of transparency, hindering affected voters from filing objections. The court also asked the poll panel to consider extending the deadline for objections, emphasizing the need for accessible lists at local offices and online to ensure voter participation.
