Question

What do you mean by voters list? What is its significance?

Answer 1

In a democratic election, the list of those who are eligible to vote is prepared much before the election and given to everyone, which is officially called the Electoral Roll and is commonly known as the Voters’ List. It is the responsibility of the government to get the names of all the eligible voters put on the voters’ list.

Every voter has equal opportunity to choose their representatives. The voters list is revised every year, in order to add names of those who turned 18 after 1st January and have moved into a constituency. Also, to remove the names of those who have died or moved out of their constituency.
