Publish anomalies list like Puducherry, demands Congress
Congress leaders in Telangana are demanding that the Election Commission publish constituency-wise anomaly lists for voter rolls, similar to the practice in Puducherry. They argue that transparency is necessary to reduce public anxiety and confusion during the Special Intensive Revision exercise.
Why it matters
Transparency in voter registration processes is critical for maintaining public trust in democratic electoral systems.
With the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise now in the notice phase, and electors facing challenges in responding to notices related to anomalies that have reached over 60 lakh, clamour for greater transparency, including publication of anomaly lists, is growing louder.
According to Hyderabad District Congress Committee (DCC) president Syed Khalid Saifullah, booth level officers and their superiors have been unable to provide booth level agents with lists of electors whose names figure among the anomalies. He said Telangana should take a cue from Puducherry, which has published constituency-wise anomaly lists online.
