Nearly half of these flagged entries involve voters who have permanently shifted from their registered addresses, necessitating a review of their current status. The commission clarified that these figures are currently at the draft stage and are not final. A claims-and-objections process is now underway to provide necessary safeguards against the wrongful exclusion of eligible voters. This exercise aims to maintain the integrity of the electoral process ahead of future polling cycles.
