The removal process was initiated following a Special Inspection Report that identified irregularities and duplicate registrations. Authorities attribute some deletions to conflict-induced population displacement, while others stem from administrative discrepancies in voter database management. This action aims to ensure electoral integrity and accuracy in these northeastern Indian states.
