At least 2,012,000 voters were removed from Odisha’s electoral roll during a Special Intensive Revision, according to figures cited by NDTV. The reported reasons included deaths and permanent relocation, with 832,000 listed as dead and 808,000 recorded as having moved permanently from their registered places.
At least 2,012,000 voters were removed from Odisha’s electoral roll during a Special Intensive Revision, according to official figures cited by NDTV. The reported removals were made for various reasons. Of those removed, 832,000 were recorded as dead, while 808,000 were listed as having shifted permanently, the report said.
The figures were presented in connection with Odisha’s SIR, or Special Intensive Revision, of the electoral roll. The available source material does not provide the total number of registered voters before the revision, the dates covered by the exercise or a breakdown of the remaining removals. It also does not specify which authority conducted the revision, how voters were notified, or whether any appeals or corrections were available to people whose names were deleted.
The reported figures therefore establish the scale of the removals and identify death and permanent relocation as the two largest stated categories. NDTV did not provide further details in the supplied material about the process or its political response.
