Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday (June 9, 2025) lauded the Election Commission's (EC) reported decision to share the electoral-roll data for Haryana and Maharashtra as "a good first step" and urged the poll body to announce the exact date by which the data will be handed over in a digital, machine-readable format.
The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha shared the screenshot of a media report that 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.
Good first step taken by EC to hand over voter rolls.
Can the EC please announce the exact date by which this data will be handed over in a digital, machine-readable format? pic.twitter.com/SbW3DrCapK
