Haryana, Andhra Pradesh voter rolls shed 16.4% and 10.8% of entries in draft

Draft electoral rolls in Haryana and Andhra Pradesh have recorded significant deletions, with over 16% of Haryana's registered voters and more than 10% in Andhra Pradesh removed from the lists. Authorities cited reasons such as deaths, permanent relocations, and duplicate registrations as the primary grounds for exclusion. The deletions are part of a routine electoral roll revision process aimed at maintaining accurate voter databases. Eligible voters who have been incorrectly removed still have an opportunity to be reinstated during the official claims and objections period. This window allows citizens to seek corrections or fresh additions to the updated rolls.
