The Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) Phase 2 has resulted in the removal of approximately 6.5 crore electors from the draft electoral rolls of nine states and three Union Territories. These deletions are attributed to reasons such as death, permanent migration, or multiple registrations, categorized as 'Absent, Shifted, and Dead Duplicate' (ASD). Uttar Pradesh accounted for a significant portion of these removals. The SIR exercise aims to update voter lists, with final rolls expected in March. This revision is particularly relevant given upcoming assembly elections in several states.
