Opposition parties are mobilizing against the requirement of 11 specific documents for voter registration, fearing exclusion of marginalized communities.
These documents do not include Aadhar or driving licence, posing a challenge as most people do not possess birth certificates or their parents' birth certificates.
The timing of the revision of electoral rolls just before the assembly elections raises suspicion, especially after a regular revision in January 2025.
Manoj Jha, Rajya Sabha MP, emphasizes that the Election Commission's role is to include voters, not exclude them, questioning the necessity of the new document requirements.
