Analysis Finds Muslims Disproportionately Flagged in Delhi Electoral Roll Revision
An analysis of Delhi's draft electoral rolls during the special intensive revision (SIR) process reveals that Muslims, comprising 13.6% of electors, were disproportionately flagged for 'logical discrepancies' by the Election Commission's ERONET software, accounting for 20.3% of such cases and 30% under family size-related reasons. These flags, not based on statutory officers' decisions, raise concerns about exclusionary practices. In contrast, Bihar's SIR process showed deletions of Muslim electors proportionate to their population share, indicating differing approaches across states.
