Pune, : WACO Welfare Association strongly condemns the ongoing systematic rejection of Voter ID applications submitted by residents of Wagholi. For the past 4\u20135 months, every Form 6 (New Voter) and Form 8 (Transfer\/Correction) application has been redirected \u2014 without proper justification \u2014 to the Tahsil Office in Shirur (over 50 km from Wagholi) for physical document verification.<\/p>\n
The Election Department, operating from Room No. 208, 2nd Floor, Shirur Tahsil Office, has rejected 100% of the applications where residents could not appear in person, despite genuine submissions. This points to serious mismanagement and potential corruption, effectively denying citizens their constitutional right to vote.<\/p>\n
—
\nKey Issues:<\/p>\n
Mass Rejections: All voter ID applications from Wagholi are being dismissed under one-sided procedures.<\/p>\n
Unjustified Verification Process: Mandatory in-person appearance at a remote office is impractical and discriminatory.<\/p>\n
Violation of Rights: Hundreds of citizens, including youth, women, and senior citizens, are being systematically excluded from the electoral roll.
\n—
\nOur Demands:<\/p>\n
1. Immediate inquiry into the irregularities at the Shirur Election Department.
\n2. Establishment of a local verification facility in Wagholi.
\n3. Provision for video call or digital verification options to promote transparency and accessibility.<\/p>\n
4. Reconsideration and reinstatement of unfairly rejected applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
