NEW DELHI: Indian election officials have given voters in Bihar state just weeks to prove their citizenship, requiring documents few possess in a registration revamp set to be applied nationwide, triggering disenfranchisement fears.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the revision of the voter rolls in June ahead of upcoming polls in the eastern state.
