Delhi HC orders Election Commission to Resolve Voter List Duplication Issue

The Delhi High Court directed the Election Commission to address duplicate voter entries in Delhi's electoral rolls following a petition by Rashtravadi Adharsh Mahasangh. The petitioner claimed lakhs of duplicates undermined democracy.

The Election Commission argued it had taken steps to revise electoral rolls using tools like Photo Similar Entries (PSE) and Demographic Similar Entries (DSE).

The petitioner alleged a lack of action violated the principle of "one citizen, one vote" and the fundamental rights of citizens.

The court acknowledged the Commission's efforts and disposed of the petition, instructing concerns to be addressed appropriately after the Delhi Assembly elections.
