The halt market resolves on Supreme Court of India orders on sci.gov.in, checked on 18 December 2026: YES if a written order stops or suspends the voter list review, or removals under it, in any state. Notices, delays, requests for reports or changes to the process without a stop resolve NO, and The Guardian and BBC News reports of the order settle it if the court site is silent.
We looked for cases where a country's highest court heard a challenge to a mass removal of voters that was already under way. We found five since 2017: one in the United States, one in Ghana and three in India, all three before the same Indian court since July 2025.
