Interesting that the highest deletions are in Gehlot ji's constituency and the lowest in a BJP leader's. Makes you wonder about the previous management of the list there. Hope all deletions are genuine and not a tactic to disenfranchise anyone. Voter list purity is crucial for democracy.

The process seems transparent with the option to appeal. That's key. My cousin in Jodhpur City had to get his name corrected last month. It's a hassle but necessary. Everyone should check their name on the list online now!

As an observer, the sheer scale of the operation in Rajasthan is impressive. Over 5 crore voters! The net increase of 10 lakh+ new voters, especially young ones getting enrolled, is a positive sign for voter engagement.

The gap between male and female voters is still there, though it's reducing. In Luni, there's a difference of nearly 17,000. We need to ensure more women are registered and encouraged to vote. That's the real challenge.

While cleaning the list is good, such a high number of deletions in one constituency raises questions. Was there less vigilance in maintaining the roll earlier? The authorities should explain the reasons clearly to avoid any political controversy. A clean list benefits everyone.
