Rahul demands timeline for digital electoral roll data for Haryana, Maha

AS the row over 'Maharashtra poll match fixing' allegations continues, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday urged the poll body to announce the exact date by which EC will hand over the electoral roll data for Haryana and Maharashtra from 2009.

Tagging a news report, which said that the EC has cleared the way for sharing electoral roll data for Haryana and Maharashtra from 2009 to 2024, Gandhi wrote on X that 'it is a first good step taken by the EC to hand over the electoral roll data'. He also sought to know when the data will be handed over in a digital, machine-readable format.

The news report claimed that the EC has cleared the way for sharing the electoral-roll data for Haryana and Maharashtra from 2009 to 2024, following an assurance it gave to the Delhi High Court earlier in the year.

There was, however, no official word from the EC on the reported move as yet.
