Perfect voter rolls are a mirage: What matters is how mistakes are corrected

The controversy surrounding the Election Commission's Summary Integrated Revision (SIR) highlights the unrealistic expectation of a flawless voter list.

The focus should shift towards building transparent, iterative, and credible processes for detecting and correcting errors over time to maintain public trust.
