Goa Election Roll Excludes 97 Eligible Voters Amid System Limitations and Political Disputes
In Goa's 2026 Special Intensive Revision (SIR), 97 voters deemed eligible by Electoral Registration Officers were excluded from the final electoral roll due to the Election Commission's ECINet system lacking a rollback feature to reverse deletions. The Goa Chief Electoral Officer sought this facility multiple times without success before the roll's publication. Opposition parties accused the ruling BJP and Election Commission of undermining the process, while officials stated many of the 97 have since been enrolled, with remaining cases under processing, assuring no eligible voter will be left out.
