Millions of voters in India are facing difficulties in proving their eligibility to remain on electoral rolls as part of a nationwide overhaul by the Election Commission of India (ECI). This process, requiring voters to link themselves to electoral lists from 2002-03, has led to over 133 million names being removed, including nearly 28 million listed as deceased. Critics allege the revision risks mass disenfranchisement and potential citizenship repercussions, particularly impacting vulnerable populations lacking documentation. Protests have erupted in New Delhi demanding the resignation of the chief election commissioner. While opposition parties claim political bias in favor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the ECI maintains the revision adheres to legal requirements. Individuals like Laddli Khatun in Delhi slums struggle to meet the "burden of proof" due to lost or non-existent records of their ancestors.
