Maharashtra SIR: Lists of ‘logical discrepancies’, ‘unmapped persons’ yet to be published
Maharashtra's Chief Electoral Officer has yet to publish lists of 1.22 million voters flagged for logical discrepancies or being unmapped. While the Election Commission of India directed states to make these lists public, officials claim the process is ongoing at the local level without a set deadline.
