US Lawmaker Voices Concern Over Voter Roll Deletions in India
Indian-origin U.S. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal expressed concern over reports that 130 million voter names were removed from India's draft electoral rolls during the ongoing Special Summary Revision process. She supported non-violent protests opposing what she described as "anti-democratic efforts" and compared the situation to voting rights challenges in the U.S. The Election Commission of India stated that voters excluded inadvertently can seek re-inclusion through established procedures.
