The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has recently disclosed that around 34 lakh Aadhaar card holders in West Bengal are erroneously marked as ‘deceased’. This alarming figure has triggered serious concerns regarding the accuracy and reliability of voter records in the state. In response, UIDAI has notified the Election Commission of India (ECI) to address this critical issue.
Election Commission’s Response
Election officials have begun thoroughly reviewing the affected records to:
- Eliminate any duplication
- Correct the voter lists accordingly
This initiative aims to uphold the integrity of the electoral process and avert potential misuse of identities.
Importance of Data Accuracy
The recognition of such a substantial number of deceased individuals within the system underscores the necessity for:
- Continuous data verification
- Regular updating of records
Authorities are leveraging this data to ensure voter lists accurately mirror the real demographic distribution. This step is pivotal in preventing fraudulent voting and enhancing the transparency of elections, especially in the lead-up to forthcoming electoral events.
