The Election Commission of India (ECI) orders a probe into how foreign nationals cast votes in the Tamil Nadu Assembly election, despite the electoral rolls undergoing a Special Intensive Revision. According to reports, the ECI asks returning officers to submit a detailed report explaining the circumstances that allowed such voting to occur. The Commission seeks information from multiple localities across the state, including at least two cities and five districts. The probe focuses on the verification and processing steps involved in voter registration and voting, and on how these voters were permitted within the framework used for the election. The ECI’s request for reports indicates that the Commission is examining whether lapses occurred during roll revision, document scrutiny, or voter identification at polling stations. The matter is being investigated through responses from district and city election officials, with the aim of establishing how foreign nationals were able to vote and whether any procedural breaches took place.
