Can't copy-paste old voter lists for SIR: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court emphasised that electoral roll revisions must be thorough, not mere copies. The Election Commission's voter enumeration process will involve inquiries to confirm citizenship, rather than waiting for complaints. The Court noted migration as a valid reason for nationwide roll updates, even without specific statistics, and dismissed claims of arbitrariness in the selection of states for the exercise.
