NPR reports that 130 million names were removed from India’s voter rolls during a large-scale revision, triggering a political crisis.
Even at that scale, removal happens to people one at a time. Someone arrives to vote and learns that their name is no longer there.
What evidence led to each removal, and were people told before they reached the polling place? If a name was removed incorrectly, could it be restored before polling day? I also want to know which groups were most affected. Without clear answers, a large administrative exercise can leave an individual with no useful remedy.
