The state government should not relax without giving attention while conducting special summary revision of electoral roll, 2024 by the ECI. The state government should not free the ECI while deleting, removing or including voters, he said.

"The Chief Electoral Officer should publish numbers of increased, decreased and added voters in Special Summary Revision of Electoral Roll, 2024 final publication", said Sharatchandra.

He highlighted that allowing voter's rights to migrants and giving administration power to migrants will not benefit the implementation of ILP system. 

Due to influx from neighbouring countries there is demographic imbalance in the state.
