The Election Commission of India has launched the second phase of its Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in 12 states, introducing changes to make the process more inclusive than the controversial Bihar exercise. Starting October 28, the revision softens emphasis on citizenship verification and widens options for linking voter records. This aims to trace more existing voters without immediate document demands.
