• The EC has flagged 35.6 lakh entries for potential removal—approximately 12.5 lakh deceased voters, 17.5 lakh permanent migrants and 5.5 lakh duplicate registrations.
• A QR code-based online form and ECINet portal login for EPIC or mobile numbers have been launched to facilitate out-of-state and migrant voter participation.
• The Supreme Court has urged the EC to accept Aadhaar cards, voter ID cards and ration cards as valid documents and will hear further arguments on July 28.
• The Telugu Desam Party has written to the EC demanding an explicit statement that the revision is limited to electoral roll correction and not linked to citizenship verification.
