One year of Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision: Over 5.8 crore names deleted from electoral rolls

Over 5.8 crore voters have been removed from electoral rolls across 12 states and Union territories in a year-long purification drive by the Election Commission. While the EC maintains the exercise targets duplicate and ineligible voters, opposition parties allege disenfranchisement. The Supreme Court has upheld the revision's validity, and the process continues nationwide, impacting social security schemes in some states.
