WACO Objects to Outdated Voter List in Pune Elections
The Wagholi Against Corruption Organization (WACO) is upset about the voter list being used for the upcoming elections.
They say the list is old and will prevent some people from voting.
These people recently turned 18 or registered after a certain date.
WACO believes this is against the law, as the Constitution guarantees the right to vote.
They want a new list made so everyone can vote.
If the government doesn't fix it, WACO will go to court.
The group is asking for a fair process because the area they live in already has problems, like bad roads and lack of water.
WACO is protesting the use of an outdated voter list for upcoming Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections.
The group believes using the July 1, 2025 cutoff date could disenfranchise newly registered voters.
WACO's president cited Article 326 of the Indian Constitution to support the right to vote.
WACO has demanded a supplementary voter list, and will go to High Court if needed.
The residents of Wagholi have been struggling with lack of basic amenities.
