What's behind this
Nearly 30 lakh voters listed for Rajasthan’s local body elections are absent from the Election Commission’s final electoral list released after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), an activist said.

Activist Nikhil Dey has warned that the reliance on the older list raises questions about the reliability of the rolls used for the polls.
