On 16 April, the Supreme Court, invoking its extraordinary powers under Article 142, directed the ECI to issue supplementary electoral rolls.
The order offers little relief, leaving deleted West Bengal voters confused. @soumomondalep reports.

@TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP My family cannot #vote. BCOZ somewhere in #SIR machinery it was decided we r ABSENT DEAD SHIFTED! Deleted despite meeting deadline. The onus is on citizen to check but who's fixing errors? What abt accountability in enumeration & verification before exclusion? #GeneralElection

@chennaicorp @TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP @deo_chennai If West Bengal can rectify legitimate deleted voters on account of procedural failures why can't Tamilnadu? We are being deprived of our fundamental right. no help or resolution has been rendered #tnelections2026 #ECI @Collr_Chn @deo_chennai @pibchennai @TNelectionsCEO

@TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP #VoteforDemocracy. Let us vote. If West Bengal can rectify legitimate deleted voters on account of procedural failures why can't Tamilnadu? We are being deprived of our fundamental right.

@TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP @Collector_Try @deo_thanjavur @DEOTvm We went to vote on the 23rd as is our right having done our part. Your department's procedural failures have cost us our fundamental right. WHY are you unwilling to rectify it and enable legitimate voters to vote #100percentvoting

[Divya Candade @divyacandade]

@TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP @Collector_Try @deo_thanjavur @DEOTvm My family of 4 has 2 BLOs who have moved us from the electoral roll to the Absent, Dead, Shifted list after giving us #SIR forms submitted 12 Dec. Penal action for BLOs is not a solution to my problem. Demand exception letter so we can #myrightmyvote

[Divya Candade @divyacandade]

@TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP @Collector_Try @deo_thanjavur @DEOTvm What is the point when we have been struck off the #electoralroll and are being told there is nothing that can be done. When West Bengal can do it why can't Tamilnadu? Disappointed, disenfranchised,legitimate voters deleted from the list in Chennai. #righttovote #everyvotecounts

[Divya Candade @divyacandade]

@TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP @Collector_Try @deo_thanjavur @DEOTvm How is this leaving no stone unturned to ensure 100 % polling? We have been trying to rectify our deleted names for 3 weeks! My Army family of 4 does not deserve this running from pillar to post to be told it's too late to be on electoral roll. WE JUST WANT TO VOTE.

Distinguished academics from IIM Kolkata and Aliah University—including HoDs and PhD scholars—find themselves marked ‘deleted’ in the ECI’s electoral rolls. Good report by @enewsroomindia @ScribeShah

@TNelectionsCEO I know of at least 10 people, of which 5 are women who have been wrongly deleted from the electoral rolls, and are being told it's too late to be added back! My family of 4 is in the ADS list. We want to vote on the 23rd. If West Bengal can do it, why not Tamilnadu? #righttovote

[Divya Candade @divyacandade]

I know of at least 10 people who've been wrongly #deleted from #electoralrolls, & being told it's too late to be added back! If West Bengal can do it, why not TN? What process of review is this if legitimate voters can't vote in assembly elections? @TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP #SIR

[Divya Candade @divyacandade]

While there is an online portal for West Bengal, there appears to be no appellate tribune or information online for Tamilnadu. We have been trying to get this fixed for over 3 weeks now. Each day we get told give us a day to figure what went wrong. #electoralroll #deleted #SIR

[Divya Candade @divyacandade]

With 97.3+ lakh #electoralroll deletions aftr #SpecialIntensiveRevision #Tamilnadu has 1 of highest deletions in India.35% in Chennai. SC declared citizens right to vote wrt bonafide del voters in WB. We did our part to vote on 23rd. Y r we in ADS list? @TNelectionsCEO @ECISVEEP

[Divya Candade @divyacandade]

If there's no regard for an army officer who spent his life guarding our borders. Perhaps this - 3 out of the 6 are #women, what about legit representation in voting apart from increased representation of women at the #LokSabha @ECISVEEP @TNelectionsCEO #womensreservationbill
