The Introduction of Facial Recognition for Electoral Roll Verification in Hyderabad
summary
Telangana introduces facial recognition tied to Aadhaar to purge the electoral roll and runs digitized matching that officials say targets duplicates but produces mass removals and little follow up. Tests run on pensioners and administrative rolls produce a surprising scale of exclusion with claims like 20 lakh deletions over six years, while auditors report server-side data deleted and no transparent verification, leaving accuracy, location dependence and remedies unclear and prompting calls for door-to-door rechecks.
