Dhar district in Madhya Pradesh has seen 1,01,836 voter names removed from electoral rolls after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), according to Congress leader Swatantra Joshi. Speaking at a press conference, Joshi stated that the voter count dropped from 17,00,963 to 15,99,127 across the district's seven Assembly constituencies.

The final voter roll lists 15,99,127 names. The Congress party has demanded constituency-wise and polling station-wise details of the deletions and an investigation into complaints of wrongful removal. They also announced a "Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao" campaign from October 25 to November 25, involving voter-list verification and assistance with enrolment.

Congress workers in Dhar will participate in a rally in Delhi on November 1, and the party has accused the BJP government of interfering with constitutional institutions.

In Ratlam, Congress spokesperson Charanjit Singh Sapra demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that the BJP was trying to influence voter rolls through the SIR. Sapra announced a "Save the Vote, Save the Country" campaign to raise awareness about voting rights, with a rally planned at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on November 1, followed by "Save the Constitution" programs nationwide on Constitution Day, November 26.
