Goa officials have removed 97 verified voters from the state's electoral roll, a move that has sparked a heated debate over possible discrepancies in the voter list.
The deletion, announced by the Election Commission, was justified on the grounds of outdated or duplicate entries, but critics argue that the process lacked transparency.
Opposition leaders and civil‑society groups have demanded a thorough audit of the roll, citing concerns that legitimate voters may have been wrongly excluded.
The incident comes amid broader scrutiny of electoral roll accuracy across the country, with several states facing similar challenges this election season.
