UI posted this in another community and some person told me to ask the question here so that anyone could tell me what steps we can take.
………
“So a few days ago there were elections in Uttarakhand and although me, my father and mother all have voter ids, our names were removed from the voters list. One of our neighbors also didn’t have their name in the list. So we went to the voting centre and the people there told us “nothing’s going to happen now, voter list has already been made you guys are just wasting your time here”. Its wierd because my family voted during lok sabha elections and so did I and my parents also voted for UK elections the last time (i didn’t as i was u18). After a bit we came to know around 180 people’s name were removed from the voters list alone from my colony and from another colony 400 people were removed from the list. Tf is going on? Wierdly enough, most (not everyone most i am aware of) of the ppl removed were related with congress in some way for eg. my neighbor’s cousin was in congress party.
Subsequently, bjp won here with more than 1200 votes.” -
SBefore you can approach any court you must approach the EC and ask for reinclusion. It’s only if they refuse can you approach the courts.
But you must file a RTI application under Section 6 of the RTI Act as well as for Section 4 inspection of files, you should ask for information on
Page of the voter roll list which had my name/names earlier and page of the voter roll list in which my name has been deleted
Copy of the notice sent to me before deletion of my name/name
Copy of the hearing sent to me as a result of the notice.
Copy of the public notice issued in the newspaper announcing my name/names for deletion.
All correspondence related to the procedure that led to the deletion of my name
If enough people pursue the RTI method , they may become more careful in the future
