Many voters whose names appear on the draft electoral roll are now receiving calls from booth-level officers (BLOs) regarding discrepancies in the spelling of their parents’ or grandparents’ names compared with the 2002 electoral roll. The Kasba voter said the officer mentioned that over 60 voters in his area of the Kasba Assembly constituency faced similar issues. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on February 14. Voters whose relatives’ names did not appear in the 2002 list were required to provide the details of a parent or grandparent whose name was on the list. While filling out the enumeration form, many voters wrote the correct spelling of their relative’s name, even if the 2002 roll contained errors.
