Booth-Level Agents Contest EC Claims of No Objections to Electoral Roll Revisions
Opposition parties' booth-level agents are contesting the Election Commission's (EC) claim that no objections were filed regarding electoral roll revisions. They allege that their complaints about discrepancies, such as duplicate entries and deceased voters, were not properly recorded or addressed by the EC. The EC had stated that only 43,123 objections were filed nationwide, but opposition parties claim to have submitted significantly more, which were often rejected or not formally registered. This raises concerns about the transparency and fairness of the electoral process.
