EC Chief OP Rawat clears, "No effect of NRC draft on voter list in Assam"

All eligible voters with bonafide documents to prove their citizenship will be included in the voter list even if their names are not in the draft national register of citizens (NRC), the election commission said.

“Coincidentally our timelines are matching. We have informed the CEO in Assam that all individual cases should be dealt with and in case of a dispute; if the names are missing from NRC but are on the electoral list, then the electoral officer will take the final call based on the supporting evidence,” Chief Election Commissioner OP Rawat said to ABP News.
