  • The primary issue involves voters flagged as 'anomaly' or 'unmapped' in the electoral rolls.
  • The current verification procedure involves multiple stages, including notices, document submission, and formal hearings.
  • Concerns have been raised that the current multi-stage process creates administrative hardship for voters.
  • A comparison has been drawn with the verification process in Bihar, where booth-level officers collect self-attested documents and SIR forms during the enumeration phase to simplify the process.
