EC re-opens window for electors left out of draft rolls in 7 States/ UT

What's behind this

The Election Commission has announced a final opportunity for electors who were omitted from draft voter lists in seven states where the Summary Revision of Electoral Rolls (SIR) is underway. The move allows those left out to update the rolls and be included in the final list. The Congress party described the directive as a “U‑turn” and a belated admission that wrongful deletions and exclusions had occurred. The states include Delhi, Maharashtra and five other states.
