# UN rapporteurs question India’s voter-roll revision exercise 2026-08-15T05:46:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Three United Nations special rapporteurs have sought India’s response to concerns over the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, National Herald India reports. Their letter questions the exercise’s transparency, methodology, scope and possible impact on minority voters in Bihar, West Bengal and elsewhere. It asks the government to respond before a final report goes to the UN Human Rights Council. The Ministry of External Affairs has called the allegations baseless and unwarranted, while the government has said deleting names of deceased, migrated or relocated voters is routine. The article alleges that 2.7 million people could not vote while appeals were pending and questions deletions linked to a “logical discrepancy” clause. These claims were not independently verified in the source. ## Coverage - nationalheraldindia.com Tags: Bihar, Election Commission of India, Supreme Court of India, United Nations, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/un-rapporteurs-question-indias-voter-roll-revision-exercise/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
