Congress launches voter list verification drive before critical elections

The Congress party has launched a major push to verify voter lists ahead of upcoming elections. At a recent All India Congress Committee (AICC) meeting, leaders outlined plans to ensure accuracy and transparency in the electoral rolls. The move comes as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, aimed at strengthening democratic fairness.

Former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh presented an action plan for verifying voter lists during the meeting. He stressed that fair and transparent elections are essential for democracy to function properly. His proposal called for close coordination across all levels of the party to check for errors and prevent irregularities.

The initiative seeks to reinforce trust in the electoral system by guaranteeing that all qualified citizens can vote. Monitoring will be conducted at both state and federal levels to maintain transparency. The outcome of this effort will shape the integrity of the upcoming elections.
