Hello,
‍

Can you be dead and alive at the same time?

This isn’t a Zombie movie but a reality for nearly two lakh voters in Rajasthan. They were declared dead in the exhaustive Special Intensive Revision by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

But soon after, in the voter roll prepared by Rajasthan’s State Election Commission (SEC), they were found alive.

ECI conducted SIR in Rajasthan between Oct 2025 - Feb 2026. It led to a net deletion of over 32 lakh names from the voter roll. Almost at the same time, the SEC also started revising the electoral roll for panchayat elections.

They ran in parallel, yet their results didn’t match.
