<h1>Election Commission must publish reasons for removing 65 lakh voters under special revision, ensuring transparency</h1> The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to publish details of 65 lakh voters removed from Bihar's electoral roll during a special intensive revision, specifying reasons such as death, migration, or duplicate enrollment. The list must be displayed at local offices and widely publicized. Aggrieved individuals may approach officials with identification to seek inclusion. The Court rejected challenges to the revision process, affirming the Commission's authority to conduct such exercises and emphasizing the need for transparency. The Court also questioned the legal basis for relying on the 2003 revision date and addressed concerns over procedural fairness, including the lack of acknowledgment for submitted forms. Opposition parties and an NGO had contested the revision, alleging exclusionary practices, but the Court found the expanded list of acceptable identity documents to be voter-friendly. The matter was adjourned for further compliance reporting.
