Voter Deletions and Address Changes Prompt Electoral Roll Inquiries in Karnataka and Pune
Recent analyses reveal significant voter deletions and address changes in Indian electoral rolls. In Karnataka, over 27% of voters were removed from 10 constituencies represented by Muslim MLAs during the Special Intensive Revision, exceeding the state's average deletion rate. Separately, in Pune, Maharashtra, authorities are investigating irregular bulk address changes and deletions affecting voters who reported no relocation, prompting official inquiries and complaints. Both cases highlight concerns about electoral roll accuracy and potential administrative irregularities ahead of elections.
