Who really decides who's on India's electoral roll?
In this episode of The Morning Brief podcast @anubhutivishnoi explains to @GhaiNeil, the festering friction inside the Election Commission.
Top takeaways:
--Collegiality under strain: Two election commissioners reportedly recorded objections at least 14 times in ten months, saying decisions were taken without their knowledge.
--Technology is shaping outcomes: Centralised software and "logical discrepancy" flags have restricted local officers and triggered lakhs of notices.
--Voters bear the cost: The annual roll revision has lapsed since 2024, leaving new 18-year-olds waiting, while SIR has deleted around 13 crore names and made people prove their identity again.
--The courts are now involved: The Supreme Court will hear a plea on CEC powers, while the 2023 appointment law heads toward a larger bench.

Media Round Table:
At the "Times House" complex at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi, it was a unique but an exciting experience to be a part of a Round Table meet with the Editorial staff of "Economic Times" (ET) with their counterparts from Mumbai and Bengaluru ET offices too joining via video conference.
It was an interesting interaction, lasting over an hour, covering a wide range of subjects ranging from Nuclear Energy, Space, #StartUps, technology, governance reforms, public policy, Jammu & Kashmir... even the flare for literature and poetry.
A candid exchange of views and observations, at the end of which I am sure, others too felt as enriched as me.
