Not only this, only one ‘Uncollectible Form’ was submitted in a total of 542 booths in the state. Two ‘Uncollectible Form’ gathered in 420 booths. Three Uncollectible Forms have been received from 372 booths.
‘Uncollectible Form ‘means dead voter, duplicate voter (name at more than one place), permanently shifted voter (have moved to another place) or untraceable voter i.e. those who cannot be traced or whose filled form is not submitted.
Surprisingly, why were such forms not submitted in 2,208 booths?
Does this mean that there is not a single dead voter, duplicate voter or permanently shifted voter in these booths?
This aroused suspicion. For this reason, the commission has sought an immediate report.
