According to the commission, the exercise is aimed at ensuring a clean and credible voter database by removing duplicate records, correcting biometric errors, and updating voter information across all states.

The process will also allow eligible voters to verify their details, transfer polling units where necessary, and correct any inconsistencies in their registration records.
