So far, hearings of more than 21 lakh unmapped voters have been completed, but documents of only 5 lakh voters were uploaded for verification. Of these 95 lakh voters, 24.21 lakh would be called as at least six or more voters had mapped themselves to the same parent enrolled in the 2002 post-SIR rolls. Apart from these, 11.95 lakh voters linked themselves to voters in the 2002 rolls, who are older by 15 years or less. In addition to these, there are approximately 8.77 lakh voters who linked themselves to voters from the 2002 rolls as parents, but their age gap exceeded 50 years. Another 3.29 lakh voters also came under scrutiny as they linked themselves to voters of the 2002 rolls as their grandparents, but their age gap was less than 40 years.
