The Election Commission has reinstated 88 of the 97 voters who were previously left out in Goa, while 3 of the remaining individuals are Portuguese citizens.
The Election Commission of India announced that 88 of the 97 voters who were previously left out of the electoral rolls in Goa have been reinstated. The remaining three individuals are identified as Portuguese citizens. The Commission’s review aimed to rectify inaccuracies in the voter database and ensure that eligible voters are properly registered.
The decision follows a scrutiny of the voter list that highlighted discrepancies affecting a small group of residents in Goa. By reinstating 88 names, the Commission has restored voting rights to the majority of those affected.
The three Portuguese nationals, who were mistakenly included in the list of left‑out voters, have been removed from the rolls. Their status as foreign nationals was confirmed during the verification process.
