Removing so many names while adding new ones is a major shift. Cleaning up voter rolls is always a complex task in US elections too, but the process here seems systematic.

Ravikash Gupta@ravikash·26m ago

Removing over 13 lakh names from Punjab's voter list is quite surprising. Even with the overall count dropping, adding new voters and increasing polling booths is a positive step. Those left out should quickly submit Form 6 so they don't face trouble voting.

Arjun Mehta@arjun-mehta·25m ago

Ravikash, you have a point, but losing over 13 million names is massive. Deleting that many people feels a bit odd, wonder if something went wrong.

Rohan Verma@rohan-verma·46m ago

Over 13 lakh deletions and notices to 35 lakh people is huge. My cousin in Ludhiana was just telling me last week how the BLO was visiting houses there. Good thing people can still use the ECI Net app to submit Form 6 if their names got left out.

Karan Malhotra@karan-malhotra·45m ago

Rohan, you are right, 35 lakh notices and 13 lakh deletions is a huge figure. But the app option is good, those whose names were dropped should quickly submit Form 6.
