LUDHIANA: Several first-time voters expressed frustration, alleging that they were not able to vote despite having valid voter ID cards, because their names were not in the voter lists.
Voicing their disappointment, a 23-year-old first-time voter, Ritika said, "I was thrilled about voting for the first time, but my excitement turned into disappointment when I found out my name wasn't on the list."
"Despite having a voter Id card, I've never voted before. But this time, seeing my peers, I decided to finally use my democratic right. However, due to the authorities' failure to update something as basic as voter list, I was refused the chance," said Jaswinder Singh, 32, from ward no. 23.
