Special Intensive Revision, Electoral Irregularities, and the Future of Democratic Trust in India

Описание: In this month's Public Policy Cluster roundtable, Vansh Aggarwal, Ayushmaan, Akshara Gupta, and Yashaswini examine the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and the wider debate it has sparked around voter verification, exclusion risks, and democratic legitimacy, while also discussing how electoral irregularities should be assessed in a system as large as India’s and what it means for democratic accountability when allegations of vote manipulation are made without formal evidentiary challenges, ultimately asking how electoral integrity can be protected without weakening public trust in the vote.
