Duplicate Voter Entries Removed from Maharashtra Electoral Roll
In a town in Maharashtra, a woman's name appeared six times on the voter list.
This happened because she applied for a voter ID and, not receiving it quickly, she applied again.
Election officials found the duplicates and removed five of them.
They are now making sure the voter list is accurate by checking for other duplicate entries.
This ensures only eligible people can vote and prevents any unfairness in elections.
A woman's name appeared six times on the electoral roll in Palghar district.
The woman resides in the Nallasopara area of Palghar.
Duplicate entries were found during voter list verification.
The duplicates occurred because the voter reapplied for an EPIC.
