Voting Knowhow: No Voters ID? No Name in Voters List?

April 30, is the day of voting in Mumbai. For all those voters who have not yet registered as voters for the Lok Sabha elections, April 1, is the last day for registering.

After this date the Election Commission will stop accepting the forms. You can identify your ERO (Electoral Registration Office) by logging on to the official website ceo.maharashtra.gov.in. Necessary forms can also be downloaded.

According to Jeevan G, ERO from Chembur, those who do not possess voter I-cards can still cast their vote with some document proof like a driving license, passport or PAN card if their name is on the voter list. However, if the voter’s name is missing on the voter’s list then there is no way he/she can vote during the polls.

AGNI (Action for Good Governance and Networking in India) has plans to set up a special cell on the day of the polls to help the voters in locating their names, identifying their nearest ERO and other related matters. This NGO wants volunteers for this on the day of elections. Those wanting to volunteer can call 98209 89310.
