On January 29, 2026, the Supreme Court directed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to display names of voters identified with logical discrepancies at public places in every ward. This order follows concerns over 1.7 crore voters in Tamil Nadu receiving discrepancy forms. Voters can now submit corrections or objections through their Booth Level Agents (BLA) to ensure their names remain on the electoral roll.
