The district election officer Kranthi Kumar Pati refuted the charge and said the final voters list was prepared based on doorto-door verification by officials in 2022.

Raising the doubt of political interference on this issue Annamalai said names of BJP's voters have been intentionally removed from the voter's list. The issue flared up after a group of people from Balan Nagar, Siva Nagar and Ashok Nagar East in Kavundampalayam were allegedly denied permission to vote.
