An analysis of Tamil Nadu’s electoral rolls after the Special Intensive Revision
(SIR) shows that more women than men were removed from the Draft Electoral Roll.
Around 49.9 lakh women were deleted from the voter list, while about 47.3 lakh men
were removed. This means roughly 2.6 lakh more women than men were deleted.
These figures were calculated by combining polling booth-level data released by the
State Election Commission. The Draft Electoral Roll published on Friday showed a total
of about 97.3 lakh voter deletions.
