Meghalaya sends 651,644 voter records to notice-and-hearing scrutiny
Published
Meghalaya's Chief Electoral Officer said 651,644 electors were flagged for further review during the notice-and-hearing phase of the Special Intensive Revision. EastMojo reports that 222,786 records lacked mapping and 428,858 carried other discrepancies. Being flagged is not the same as deletion, and the supplied material does not state how many voters will ultimately remain on the roll.
Why it matters
Scrutiny affecting more than six lakh records could reshape access to the franchise before future elections. Transparent notices, accessible hearings and correction procedures are essential to prevent eligible voters from being excluded.
Evidence assessment
EastMojo attributes the figures and categories to Chief Electoral Officer B.D.R. Tiwari. The underlying roll data, district breakdown and outcomes of individual hearings are not supplied.
Medium confidence — An identified election official supports the scale of scrutiny, but no primary dataset or completed hearing results are available.
