Urban Migration Hinders Voter Form Collection

Urban Migration Hinders Voter Form Collection

In many states and union territories in India, it's been harder to collect voter forms in cities than in villages.

This is because a lot of people in cities have moved to new places for work or other reasons, and they are not at home to fill out the forms.

Cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Noida, and Patna have seen this problem.

The election officials are trying to update the voter lists to make sure everyone who should vote can, and to remove people who shouldn't be on the list, like those who have moved away or are not citizens.

This is especially important because some states are trying to stop illegal immigrants from staying in the country.
