But names of deceased persons figure in the electoral roll, they complained
Quite a few people did not vote on Tuesday as their names were missing from the electoral list. Some took to social media to vent their frustration. Several residents of Gandhi Nagar 3rd Main Road in Adyar did not find their name on the voters’ list at the polling booth in St. Michael’s School. One of them said: “I did not get a booth slip, but I went to the polling booth. My name was not on the list. My neighbour and a person in a building next door also did not find their names. But the names of my grandmother who is no more, and a man in our building who died in 2018 were listed though we had given the forms for deletion of names to the Chennai Corporation.” The deceased man’s wife’s name was also not on the list, she said. In another instance, the house owner’s name did not figure in the list whereas the domestic help, listed as a resident of the house, found her name.More Related News
