In response to a news item ‘Errors persist in voter lists’ published in these columns on Monday, the Election branch of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation sought to clarify that the updation of objections and claims and modifications will appear on the website only after final publication of electoral rolls.
The clarification cited ERO, Secunderabad Cantonment, saying the name of Namratha Gaini, daughter of MLA G. Sayanna, appeared only once. However, The Hindu is in possession of the screen-shots showing her name twice.
The statement further cited ERO, Musheerabad to say that the double entries of both the daughters’ names from Musheerabad constituencies have been deleted based on their applications. With regard to another voter P.Sayanna, the Musheerabad ERO said his name too was deleted through enquiry and submission of Form-7. The changes were not reflected online as final publication of rolls is yet to be done.
