SC Orders EC to Release Voter Deletion Data in Bihar
The Supreme Court has told the Election Commission to make public why people were removed from the voter lists in Bihar.
This is about making sure the voter lists are fair and open.
Some people were worried about issues and the removal of voters, especially the deletion of around 6.5 million voters.
