VoteRight.in is a citizen-led initiative to promote free and fair elections by making official voter data accessible and machine-readable. We extract publicly available Election Commission data (from poor-quality PDFs) and convert it into searchable formats like CSV and Excel. This helps citizens, BLOs, and political workers verify voter lists, spot potential irregularities (such as duplicates or unauthorized entries), and escalate verifiable errors. Our goal is transparency and empowerment, not accusations.
All data is sourced directly from the official Election Commission of India (ECI) website, including draft voter lists published during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). We do not modify the original data; we only clean and digitize it for usability. Users should always cross-verify against ECI's PDFs, as rare extraction errors may occur due to the low quality of source files.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is the sole custodian of electoral rolls under the Representation of the People Act, 1950. They prepare, revise, and maintain voter lists through processes like SIR. Citizens can access these lists via the ECI website or state election portals, but we digitize them here for easier analysis and verification.
SIR stands for Special Intensive Revision, a targeted exercise by the ECI to update electoral rolls by adding new voters, correcting details, and removing invalid entries (e.g., deceased or shifted voters). It often occurs before major elections. In 2025-2026, SIR has been controversial in states like Bihar, where allegations of over 5 lakh duplicates surfaced, raising questions about de-duplication processes. As Rahul Gandhi has highlighted, without transparent digital lists, it's hard to audit SIR for fairness.
Yes, SIR is a constitutional process under Article 324 of the Indian Constitution, which empowers the ECI to supervise elections. However, Rahul Gandhi has questioned its implementation, asking why the ECI lacks robust de-duplication software and why deletions seem to target weaker sections, potentially enabling "vote chori" (vote theft) by diluting genuine votes.
SIR is conducted periodically, especially before elections, to ensure accurate rolls. Annual Summary Revisions (SR) are routine, but SIR is intensive for specific issues. In Bihar's 2025 SIR, the ECI removed 51 lakh entries, but Rahul Gandhi raised concerns: Why no physical verification for duplicates? This echoes his call for ECI accountability to prevent manipulated lists.
Visit the ECI's NVSP portal (nvsp.in) or state election websites, enter your EPIC number or details like name and constituency. On VoteRight.in, use our VoterRightInfo dashboard for digitised searches by booth/ward/constituency. Rahul Gandhi has emphasised that without machine-readable data, online checks are limited.
Track your Voter ID (EPIC) application or correction status on nvsp.in using your reference number. For SIR-related updates, check draft lists on ECI sites. If your name is missing, it could indicate "vote chori". Rahul Gandhi has shared proofs of mass deletions in states like Maharashtra, urging citizens to question ECI on why poor and minority voters are disproportionately affected.
A "fake vote" refers to an invalid entry in the voter list, such as duplicates, deceased persons, shifted voters not removed, or fictitious names. These can enable fraudulent voting if not verified. Rahul Gandhi has called this "vote chori" (vote theft), sharing evidence like duplicate voters in Haryana (2024) and Bihar (2025), where lakhs of suspicious entries were flagged, potentially stealing elections from genuine citizens.
Rahul Gandhi's "5 big proofs" of vote theft include these: In Karnataka, bulk voters at single addresses; in Bihar, over 5 lakh duplicates without verification. He questions ECI: Why no mandatory de-duplication software?
Fake entries can arise from errors in data entry, lack of verification during SIR, or alleged manipulations. Rahul Gandhi alleges BJP-EC collusion in adding fakes while deleting genuine voters from weaker sections. In Bihar SIR 2025, ECI admitted duplicates but blamed protocols. Gandhi asks: Who is responsible for not using tech to prevent this?
Primarily the ECI and BLOs for verification lapses. Rahul Gandhi has directly questioned ECI: Why permit fraudulent lists? Why no transparency in deletions? He cites Haryana 2024, where fake voters allegedly helped BJP, as anti-national acts undermining "one person, one vote."
Fake votes can swing results by diluting genuine ones, leading to unfair outcomes. In close contests, even 1-2% irregularities matter. Rahul Gandhi warns this turns democracy into autocracy, as seen in other countries like Bangladesh (2025 misinformation waves). In India, it affects weaker sections, eroding social justice.
"Vote Chori" (vote theft) is Rahul Gandhi's term for manipulating voter lists. Adding fakes or deleting genuine voters to steal elections. He shared videos and data from Bihar/Maharashtra showing lakhs deleted from poor/minority areas, calling it the "most serious anti-national act." Demand: ECI release digital lists for public audit.
In Bihar's 2025 SIR, ECI removed 51 lakh entries, including over 5 lakh duplicates. Rahul Gandhi protested, questioning: Why no physical verification? Why deletions target opposition strongholds? He led the Voter Adhikar Yatra, alleging this as part of nationwide vote chori to destroy democracy.
Citizens can echo these via ECI's helpline (1950) or complaints portal.
Key cases: PUCL vs. Union of India (2003) mandated voter IDs; Common Cause vs. Union of India (2018) on EVM/VVPAT integrity. On SIR/fakes, petitions like those in 2024-2025 challenged deletions in Karnataka/Maharashtra, aligning with Rahul Gandhi's calls for ECI accountability to protect constitutional rights.
File Form 7 (objection to inclusion) on nvsp.in or with BLO during SIR claims/objections period. Provide evidence like address proof. Rahul Gandhi urges teams to verify booth-wise: Use our digitized data to flag suspicious entries, then escalate to ECI for removal.
Submit Form 6 online via nvsp.in or offline to BLO. For corrections, use Form 8. If deleted wrongly, refile. Gandhi highlights: Weaker sections often face deletions. Protect your vote to safeguard democracy.
Demand ECI transparency: Digital lists, de-duplication tech, independent audits. Rahul Gandhi's campaign: Join protests, missed calls (9650003420), or petitions. Citizens form verification teams; use tools like VoteRight.in for ground checks. Ultimate solution: Vigilant public participation.
The vote ensures "one person, one vote," empowering people over rulers. Rahul Gandhi says vote chori attacks this, turning India from world's greatest democracy to autocracy, robbing the poor of their voice.
Democracy gives power to people via fair elections; autocracy concentrates it in few. Gandhi warns: Stolen elections (like alleged in India) lead to autocracy, as in other nations where rigged polls suppressed dissent.
Often from weaker sections - poor, minorities, SC/ST/OBC. Rahul Gandhi's proofs: Mass deletions in opposition areas, diluting their votes. Why? To enable vote chori, he alleges.
They represent marginalized voices, ensuring social justice and equality. Gandhi links this to Ambedkar's Constitution: Their votes counter inequality; deletions target them to maintain power imbalances.
Votes shape policies on jobs, education, and healthcare - your daily life. Stolen votes mean lost rights. Gandhi: Protect votes for socialism and justice.
Votes enable policies for equality (e.g., reservations). Fake votes undermine this, as seen in deletions affecting Dalits/Adivasis.
Loss of freedoms, inequality rise, constitution eroded. From Gandhi/Ambedkar's democratic India to autocracy.
Active participation: Vote, verify lists, hold ECI accountable. People must protest vote chori to save democracy.
