Chief Electoral Officer says they received enumeration forms for 12.55 crore voters out of 15.44 crore listed earlier; the remaining 18.70 per cent, or about 2.89 crore voters, could not be included in the draft list due to permanent migration, multiple registrations, or deaths

The State Election Commission has directed that complete voter lists should be published phase by phase, as and when they are finalised by each municipal corporation, instead of waiting for the entire process to finish, officials said
