1.5 Crore Voter Names Removed as Election Roll Cleanup Expands
What Happened
The Election Commission's voter list verification drive has led to the deletion of over 1.58 crore names across 12 States and UTs, mainly due to deaths, migration, and duplicate registrations. Top 3 states are Andhra Pradesh (44.89 lacs), Haryana (33.83 lacs) and Odhisha (20.12 lacs).
Key Takeaways
One of India's largest electoral roll audits is reshaping voter databases, with the final impact likely to grow as more States publish revised lists.
