Odisha’s final electoral roll contains about 3.16 crore voters, while 17.66 lakh names were struck off, according to the figures supplied by The Hindu. The draft roll had 3,13,87,034 names. During the revision process, authorities added 2,90,497 names after disposing of claims, objections and other eligible applications.
A further 44,777 names were deleted. The additions exceeded the deletions by 2,45,720 voters, resulting in a net increase in the roll after the revision exercise. The supplied headline gives the total number of names struck off as 17.66 lakh, while the detailed figures provided describe 44,777 deletions after the claims and objections process.
The available material does not explain the difference between those figures or identify the reasons for the larger number of removals. No breakdown by district, constituency or category of voter is included. The information also does not give the date on which the final roll was published.
The figures nevertheless show both removals and a net increase compared with the draft roll.
