Significant share of voters omitted from Haryana and Andhra Pradesh draft lists
Draft voter registers released for phase 3 of the special intensive revision show that about 16.4% of eligible voters in Haryana and 10.8% in Andhra Pradesh were left out.
The Election Commission’s latest draft rolls, part of the third phase of the Special Intensive Revision, reveal notable gaps in two Indian states. In Haryana, roughly one in six registered voters does not appear on the list, while in Andhra Pradesh the omission rate exceeds one in ten. These figures raise concerns about the completeness of the upcoming electoral roll ahead of future elections. The data were published on Friday and are subject to further verification and correction. Analysts note that such discrepancies could affect voter participation if not addressed promptly.
Why it matters
Missing voters could be disenfranchised, affecting election fairness and representation.
