The move comes after widespread concerns that system-generated flags such as “unmapped” or “logical discrepancies” had created confusion about voter deletions. The Commission clarified that the drive will ensure inclusion of all eligible citizens, with state election offices directed to conduct enrolment campaigns and verify pending cases.
