Over 9.7 Million Voters Removed from Tamil Nadu’s Electoral Roll After Revision
Chennai: A significant number of voters, exceeding 9.7 million, have been purged from Tamil Nadu’s voter list following a recent Special Intensive Revision exercise. The data, released by the Election Commission of India on Friday, indicates a major cleanup of the state’s electoral rolls.
The removal of such a large number of voters is likely to spark debate and scrutiny, as the “Special Intensive Revision” exercise has been controversial. Details about the reasons for the removals and the impact on future elections are expected to be clarified by the Election Commission in the coming days. The move is likely to be closely watched by political parties in the state, particularly in the lead-up to future elections.
