Aadhaar-Death Registry Link to Tackle Ghost Voters

The government is trying to solve the problem of ghost voters in Bengal.

They plan to link the state's death registry with the Aadhaar system.

This way, when someone dies, their Aadhaar card will be deactivated, and the Election Commission will be notified to remove their name from the voter list.

This is important because some people might be using the names of dead people to vote illegally.

The process is already happening in some other states.

The Election Commission has also extended the deadline for updating voter lists because some workers who help with this process have died, and there have been protests.
