The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Uttar Pradesh, while releasing the data for the state's new draft voter list, stated that approximately 2.89 crore voters' names have been removed from the list after a massive verification drive. Following this purge, Uttar Pradesh's voter base has shrunk from 15 crore to approximately 12 crore.
According to the Chief Electoral Officer, the verification process and the significant reduction in voter numbers occurred because only 81 percent (approximately 12 crore) of the 15 crore voters on the old list signed and returned the verification forms.
The remaining 18 percent of the data showed discrepancies. The removed names included 46.23 lakh deceased individuals, 2.17 crore migrated voters, and 25.47 lakh duplicate voters (whose names were registered in more than one place).
