ECI Cleans Voter Rolls: Millions Deleted in MP, Chhattisgarh, Kerala

• ECI's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) led to the deletion of millions of voters from draft lists in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Kerala.
• Over 4.2 million names removed in Madhya Pradesh, 2.7 million in Chhattisgarh, and 2.2 million in Kerala.
• Deletions primarily due to deceased voters, shifted/untraceable individuals, and duplicate registrations.
• Earlier, over 15.5 million names were removed in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu after similar verification.
• Genuine voters can re-register during the claims and objections window (Dec 23, 2025 - Jan 22, 2026 for MP).

Why It Matters: ECI's SIR campaign significantly cleaned voter lists by removing millions of ineligible names across three states.
