<h1>Electoral Roll Revision Risks Voter Disenfranchisement Without Clear Citizenship Proof Rules Under Citizenship Act</h1> A parliamentary member alleged that the ongoing electoral roll revision in a state risks disenfranchising voters and potentially stripping citizenship due to stringent proof of citizenship requirements. The government has not specified acceptable documents to establish citizenship, excluding common identity cards, instead requiring proof of birth in India for individuals and their parents based on birthdate. Given that a significant portion of births lack official registration or certificates, many may fail to meet these criteria. The member warned that this could lead to large-scale voter deletions and declarations of non-citizenship, particularly if a national register is implemented. The government stated citizenship is governed by the Citizenship Act, 1955, without detailing acceptable proof documents. The Election Commission assured that no names will be removed without due process, while opposition parties view the revision as a covert attempt to implement a national register.
