India Revises Electoral Rolls, Removing Over 100 Million Entries Amid Verification Efforts
India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has removed over 100 million entries classified as deceased, duplicates, permanently shifted, or untraceable voters. While removing ineligible names is necessary for electoral integrity, these administrative classifications do not confirm illegal immigration. The Election Commission of India aims to balance preventing ineligible voting with ensuring all eligible citizens retain their voting rights, amid challenges posed by extensive internal mobility and constitutional obligations to maintain accurate voter lists.
