The names of 10.56 lakh voters have been deleted after the Special Revision of electoral rolls in Assam.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) said the names were deleted due to death, shifting, or multiple entries.
D-Voters are a category of voters in Assam who have been disenfranchised by the government on account of their alleged lack of proper citizenship credentials.
Assembly polls would be held in the state early next year.
According to the integrated draft rolls released by the ECI on Saturday, the state has a total of 2,51,09,754 voters, excluding 93,021 D-Voters or doubtful voters.
The draft rolls were published after house-to-house verification of the Special Revision was held from November 22 to December 20.
Now, voters will be able to file claims and objections till January 22, and the final electoral rolls will be published on February 10. (EOM)
