🚩 What's concerning

Lapse

The Election Commission excluded Aadhaar cards from the permissible identity documents for the voter list revision, prompting a Supreme Court directive to accept them.

"The Aadhaar card was not among the 11 documents that the poll panel had said could be submitted as proof of citizenship. Several petitioners had objected to the exclusion of Aadhaar" Scroll, 2025-09-30

Unanswered

The Election Commission did not disclose how many foreign illegal immigrants were found during the special intensive revision, despite citing their inclusion as a key reason for the exercise.
