Two Indian election workers died during voter roll updates, prompting a one-week extension of the deadline.

Two booth-level officers in India died during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, with a 42-year-old in Rajasthan collapsing at home after working late on data uploads and a 56-year-old in Uttar Pradesh dying of cardiac arrest. A third BLO in Moradabad reportedly died by suicide, citing overwhelming work pressure. The Election Commission extended the SIR timeline by one week in response to growing concerns over the workload and health of BLOs, who are responsible for updating voter data across 12 states and union territories.
