The Election Commission said 9,22,229 voters, or 2.73 per cent, were identified as deceased during the verification process.
The exercise was undertaken to ensure that electoral rolls remain updated and that the names of deceased persons are removed in accordance with the prescribed procedures.
Over 57 Lakh Voters Identified Under Migration and Other Categories
The EC report stated that 57,46,803 voters, representing 16.99 per cent, were identified as having permanently migrated to other areas, being unavailable, or falling under other specified categories during the verification process.

The Commission also identified 6,70,203 voters, accounting for 1.98 per cent, as being registered in voter lists in more than one area.

Genuine Voters Can Rejoin Voter Lists
The Election Commission has also provided an opportunity for genuine voters whose names may have been excluded during the revision process to seek inclusion.
Eligible voters can submit Form-6 along with the prescribed declaration form during the claims process from August 17 to September 16.
