The Election Commission voter list revision will soon begin its third phase across 17 states and several Union Territories. The Election Commission plans this exercise to clean and update electoral rolls before future elections.
Under the Election Commission voter list revision, officials will verify voter details through door-to-door checks and data verification. The aim is to remove duplicate entries, delete names of deceased voters, and add newly eligible citizens to the voter list.
Earlier phases of the Special Intensive Revision already covered several states. During the previous phase, authorities removed millions of incorrect or duplicate entries after detailed verification to improve the accuracy of electoral rolls.
The upcoming phase will cover a large number of voters in the remaining states and Union Territories. Officials say the large-scale revision will help maintain an accurate voter database and strengthen the election process across the country.
The Election Commission will also allow citizens to apply for corrections, transfers, or new registrations during the revision process.
