Election Commission cites Form 7 over disputed Goa voter deletions
India’s Election Commission has cited Form 7 while explaining why it could not undo voter deletions in Goa, according to India Today. The issue has prompted outrage, but the supplied material does not identify the number of voters affected, the grounds for the deletions or the commission’s fuller explanation.
India’s Election Commission has referred to Form 7 while explaining why it could not undo voter deletions in Goa, India Today reports. The explanation came amid outrage over the deletions. The supplied material does not state how many voters were affected, when the deletions occurred or which individuals or organisations submitted the relevant forms.
Form 7 is cited by the commission in the account provided, but the source material does not set out the specific procedural reason it prevented the deletions from being reversed. It also does not include a detailed response from officials in Goa or from voters who challenged the changes. The dispute therefore concerns the deletion of names from Goa’s electoral rolls and the Election Commission’s stated reliance on Form 7.
No further information about a review, corrective action or timetable is included in the supplied report summary.
