Chennai’s electoral machinery springs into action Sunday with voter registration camps blanketing 4,097 polling stations in 16 constituencies. The drive seeks to onboard new electors and rehabilitate names excised in a sweeping revision.
The Special Intensive Revision, initiated November 2025, prompted deletions of around 1.5 million entries district-wide. Stats show 150,000 for fatalities, 160,000 from contact failures or address issues, and others due to internal or external shifts.
Officials clarify that relocated or partially verified voters aren’t disqualified—they just need reinstatement. ‘Camps empower first-time and displaced voters to reclaim their rights swiftly,’ noted a department head.
Every booth will host these sessions, culminating the pre-finalization phase before January 31. Bring ID and residence evidence, urge authorities. This comprehensive outreach aims to plug gaps, ensuring comprehensive coverage and uncompromised integrity in Chennai’s electoral landscape.
