Good to see the data. But I have a question - what about the "Absent, Shifted, Dead" entries being included in the digitised count? Doesn't that slightly inflate the success percentage? The real test is how many *eligible* voters are correctly on the list.

Impressive that smaller UTs like Lakshadweep and A&N Islands are leading the charts! Shows that with proper focus, even remote areas can achieve 100%. UP's extension till Dec 26 makes sense given the population. Hope the final voter list is foolproof.

As someone who recently moved cities, the digitisation push is a relief. The old paper-based system made it so hard to update addresses. Hope this leads to smoother voter ID transfers and less hassle for migrants like me.

The call for more Booth Level Agents is key. Political parties must participate actively in verification. It's a shared responsibility to ensure the roll is accurate. No room for bogus voters or missing names. Jai Hind!

West Bengal with 7.66 crore electors at 99.96% digitisation is a massive achievement. The scale is mind-boggling. Hope Kerala and Rajasthan catch up fully before their deadlines. The ECI's daily bulletin brings much-needed transparency. Good work.
