In West Bengal, the Election Commission reportedly seeks to remove half the voters that judges had cleared for inclusion. Meanwhile, in Maharashtra, the state government is seeking an amendment to Form 6, which is used for the inclusion of deleted voters, suggesting a process to address potential wrongful deletions.
