As the process of revision as well as verification of electoral rolls is currently underway, enlightened section of the society has brought an anomaly in electoral rolls into the notice of the Election Commission.
“It has come to the notice that though a number of families residing in different villages has shifted to nearby towns but they have not got their votes shifted to their actual place of residence” , they said while adding that this trend had been adopted keeping in view their vested interest in the Panchayat Elections.
“ The trend is not only violating guidelines of the Election Commission but it is one of the major reasons of low percentage of polling in Parliamentary and Assembly polls”, they said while urging the Election Commission to take immediate effective steps to ensure shifting of votes at the actual place of residence of the voters.
