Allegations of Voter List Deletions During Special Intensive Revision in Andhra PradeshPreviousNext

In Andhra Pradesh, allegations have emerged regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists by the Election Commission of India. The Srikakulam District Congress Committee claims thousands of migrant laborers were removed from voter rolls without proper notification, demanding restoration of their voting rights. Similarly, Jana Chaitanya Vedika in Vizianagaram alleges large-scale deletion of genuine voters, criticizing the lack of public awareness and suggesting the revision favors NDA parties. Both groups call for a thorough and fair revision to protect electoral rights ahead of local elections.
