India is updating voter lists for 500 million people in 12 regions by Dec. 31, 2023, amid challenges and controversy.
India is conducting an unprecedented voter list update for nearly 500 million people across 12 states and union territories, with a New Year’s Eve deadline in Uttar Pradesh.
The effort, aimed at modernizing a database last updated in 2003, involves tens of thousands of civil servants verifying records by hand amid tight timelines, public resistance, and bureaucratic hurdles.
Challenges include missing documentation, migration, name changes, and low awareness, while critics allege political motives, including potential disenfranchisement of minorities—denied by officials.
The drive has drawn scrutiny due to its scale, speed, and reported stress on workers, including suicides, as India strives to maintain electoral integrity ahead of the 2024 general elections.
