The Election Commission has rolled out an e-verfication procedure to ensure that the provision to seek deletion of names from voters’ list is not misused.
Those seeking removal of names or claiming objection to inclusion of names in the electoral roll will get a one-time password on their registered mobile phones.
“There could be cases where a person seeking removal of a name gives someone else’s name or phone number while filing objection online. This added feature will present such a misuse,” an official explained.
The feature was rolled out a week ago with poll authority officials insisting that it is not a reaction to wrongful attempts to delete names in Aland assembly constituency in Karnataka.
The EC said although the elector of the constituency can fill Form 7 online to apply for deletion of an entry from that particular constituency, it does not mean that the entry gets automatically deleted merely by submitting the Form 7.
