20,000 dead still live on in Hyderabad electoral rolls as voters
Over 20,000 people from the Greater Hyderabad region in Telangana who have been dead for years still have their names on the electoral rolls, raising concerns about potential misuse of their votes. Families have informed election officials about the deaths and requested the removal of names, but the deletion process has been slow. In some cases, only a fraction of the dead voters have been removed from the rolls. The Election Commission of India states that wrongful deletion of a voter's name is a criminal offense, leading to the persistence of deceased individuals on the rolls.
