Rinwa said the Election Commission of India (ECI) has directed polling officials to allow eligible voters to cast their votes if their identities can be established despite discrepancies in their details recorded in the electoral rolls. “If satisfied that a person is the registered elector, officials must disregard minor clerical or printing errors and permit voting,” Rinwa added. The elections will be held across five graduate and six teacher constituencies. Presiding and polling officers must verify voters’ identities using permissible identification documents or other particulars available in the electoral rolls. Download the TOI App.
