“Hardly any first or second appeals were made under Section 24 of the Representation of People act, or correction of any entries in Electoral Rolls (Section 22) or Inclusion (Section 23) during the recent Special Summary Revision published on January 6-7 2025,” ANI quoted EC sources.
According to the EC, the Special Summary Revision (SSR) involves reviewing the voter list and unveiling a draft electoral roll.
It is often held before elections and aims to uphold a just and transparent voting process by adding newly eligible voters, including those who have reached 18 years of age or changed their constituency. It also involves the elimination of duplicate and deceased voters.
According to EC, just 89 appeals were recorded in Maharashtra. While there were 13,857,359 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) in the country, only 89 appeals for changes in the electoral rolls were made.
Therefore, there is no option but to accept the Electoral Rolls published after the completion of SSR in January 2025 as undisputed by all.
