&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The ECI plan to link voter IDs to Aadhaar risks a repeat exclusion of voters, and thus falling afoul of the SC order that forbids denial of service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is reportedly making renewed efforts to link citizen voter IDs to Aadhaar-the UIDAI&#039;s contentious biometric ID, whose creeping overreach was halted by the Supreme Court in September this year. A previous linking effort in 2015, under the ECI&#039;s grandiosely named &#039;National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme (NERPAP)&#039;, had seen an estimated 320 million voter IDs linked to Aadhaar, but the so-called purification drive also led to the deletion of several million voters from the electoral rolls (&#039;The Case of the Missing Voters,&#039; INDIA TODAY, November 26, 2018). Given this, the ECI&#039;s repeat effort comes as a surprise wrapped in a mystery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ECI apparently believes that said linkage with Aadhaar will enhance the credibility of electoral rolls. Given that the reliability of Aadhaar itself is under a cloud, it is hard to understand the ECI&#039;s faith in it. Doubts over the efficacy and intent of the NERPAP drive, ostensibly to create &amp;quot;a totally error-free and authenticated electoral roll&amp;quot;, resurfaced in early 2018 with the discovery of missing voters in some states, starting with Karnataka, where some 6.6 million voter names, out of a total of 50 million, had gone missing. Also, NERPAP data sheets were found &amp;quot;lying around&amp;quot; in several locations because at least some personnel tasked with collecting the data had continued to do so for quite some time after the August 2015 ban order of the Supreme Court kicked in. This was because follow-up instructions from the ECI took time to reach the ground level. Even after the data-collection drive had finally stopped, in the absence of clear instructions on how to store and/ or dispose of data sheets, they were apparently put away quite haphazardly, wherever the ground personnel deemed it fit to do so. This only served to further underline doubts over how the linking exercise might have led to the deletion of voter names. So far, there has been no satisfactory resolution of these doubts.&lt;br /&gt;

A previous linking effort in 2015, under the ECI's grandiosely named 'National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme (NERPAP)', had seen an estimated 320 million voter IDs linked to Aadhaar, but the so-called purification drive also led to the deletion of several million voters from the electoral rolls ('The Case of the Missing Voters,' INDIA TODAY, November 26, 2018).

A previous linking effort in 2015, under the ECI&#039;s grandiosely named &#039;National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme (NERPAP)&#039;, had seen an estimated 320 million voter IDs linked to Aadhaar, but the so-called purification drive also led to the deletion of several million voters from the electoral rolls (&#039;The Case of the Missing Voters,&#039; INDIA TODAY, November 26, 2018). Given this, the ECI&#039;s repeat effort comes as a surprise wrapped in a mystery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ECI apparently believes that said linkage with Aadhaar will enhance the credibility of electoral rolls. Given that the reliability of Aadhaar itself is under a cloud, it is hard to understand the ECI&#039;s faith in it. Doubts over the efficacy and intent of the NERPAP drive, ostensibly to create &amp;quot;a totally error-free and authenticated electoral roll&amp;quot;, resurfaced in early 2018 with the discovery of missing voters in some states, starting with Karnataka, where some 6.6 million voter names, out of a total of 50 million, had gone missing. Also, NERPAP data sheets were found &amp;quot;lying around&amp;quot; in several locations because at least some personnel tasked with collecting the data had continued to do so for quite some time after the August 2015 ban order of the Supreme Court kicked in. This was because follow-up instructions from the ECI took time to reach the ground level. Even after the data-collection drive had finally stopped, in the absence of clear instructions on how to store and/ or dispose of data sheets, they were apparently put away quite haphazardly, wherever the ground personnel deemed it fit to do so. This only served to further underline doubts over how the linking exercise might have led to the deletion of voter names. So far, there has been no satisfactory resolution of these doubts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/up-front/story/20181231-a-negative-vote-for-aadhaar-point-of-view-1414312-2018-12-23?fbclid=IwAR1kr_eUXeHkEKsnceXFdAfj5qEi4KCrRJ1rl5iBKWJWeheRjSjDzHgmbng&quot; title=&quot;https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/up-front/story/20181231-a-negative-vote-for-aadhaar-point-of-view-1414312-2018-12-23?fbclid=IwAR1kr_eUXeHkEKsnceXFdAfj5qEi4KCrRJ1rl5iBKWJWeheRjSjDzHgmbng&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

<em>The ECI plan to link voter IDs to Aadhaar risks a repeat exclusion of voters, and thus falling afoul of the SC order that forbids denial of service.<br />
</em><br />
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is reportedly making renewed efforts to link citizen voter IDs to Aadhaar-the UIDAI's contentious biometric ID, whose creeping overreach was halted by the Supreme Court in September this year. A previous linking effort in 2015, under the ECI's grandiosely named 'National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme (NERPAP)', had seen an estimated 320 million voter IDs linked to Aadhaar, but the so-called purification drive also led to the deletion of several million voters from the electoral rolls ('The Case of the Missing Voters,' INDIA TODAY, November 26, 2018). Given this, the ECI's repeat effort comes as a surprise wrapped in a mystery.<br />
<br />
The ECI apparently believes that said linkage with Aadhaar will enhance the credibility of electoral rolls. Given that the reliability of Aadhaar itself is under a cloud, it is hard to understand the ECI's faith in it. Doubts over the efficacy and intent of the NERPAP drive, ostensibly to create &quot;a totally error-free and authenticated electoral roll&quot;, resurfaced in early 2018 with the discovery of missing voters in some states, starting with Karnataka, where some 6.6 million voter names, out of a total of 50 million, had gone missing. Also, NERPAP data sheets were found &quot;lying around&quot; in several locations because at least some personnel tasked with collecting the data had continued to do so for quite some time after the August 2015 ban order of the Supreme Court kicked in. This was because follow-up instructions from the ECI took time to reach the ground level. Even after the data-collection drive had finally stopped, in the absence of clear instructions on how to store and/ or dispose of data sheets, they were apparently put away quite haphazardly, wherever the ground personnel deemed it fit to do so. This only served to further underline doubts over how the linking exercise might have led to the deletion of voter names. So far, there has been no satisfactory resolution of these doubts.<br />

A Negative Vote for Aadhaar | Point of View -Jagdeep S Chhokar

-India Today The ECI plan to link voter IDs to Aadhaar risks a repeat exclusion of voters, and thus falling afoul of the SC order that forbids denial of service. The Election Commission of India (ECI) is reportedly making renewed efforts to link citizen voter IDs to Aadhaar-the UIDAI's contentious biometric ID, whose creeping overreach was halted by the Supreme Court in September this year. A previous linking effort in 2015, under the ECI's grandiosely named 'National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme (NERPAP)', had seen an estimated 320 million voter IDs linked to Aadhaar, but the so-called purification drive also led to the deletion of several million voters from the electoral rolls ('The Case of the Missing Voters,' INDIA TODAY, November 26, 2018). Given this, the ECI's repeat effort comes as a surprise wrapped in a mystery. The ECI apparently believes that said linkage with Aadhaar will enhance the credibility of electoral rolls. Given that the reliability of Aadhaar itself is under a cloud, it is hard to understand the ECI's faith in it. Doubts over the efficacy and intent of the NERPAP drive, ostensibly to create "a totally error-free and authenticated electoral roll", resurfaced in early 2018 with the discovery of missing voters in some states, starting with Karnataka, where some 6.6 million voter names, out of a total of 50 million, had gone missing. Also, NERPAP data sheets were found "lying around" in several locations because at least some personnel tasked with collecting the data had continued to do so for quite some time after the August 2015 ban order of the Supreme Court kicked in. This was because follow-up instructions from the ECI took time to reach the ground level.
