The Systematic Voters' Registration (SIR) process in Meghalaya has resulted in the removal of 7% of names from the state's voters' list.
The Systematic Voters' Registration (SIR) process in Meghalaya has recently concluded, resulting in the deletion of approximately 7% of names from the state's voters' list. This significant reduction in voter numbers is attributed to the rigorous verification process undertaken by the Election Commission of India. The SIR process aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the electoral rolls by identifying and removing duplicate entries, ineligible voters, and deceased individuals. While the exact number of names removed has not been officially disclosed, the 7% figure represents a substantial change in the voter demographics of Meghalaya.
