Congress MLA Amin Patel Urges ECI To Protect Voting Rights Of Redevelopment-Hit Mumbai Residents

Congress MLA Amin Patel petitioned the Election Commission of India to protect voting rights of Mumbai residents temporarily relocated due to urban redevelopment projects.

Patel's letter to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar warns that voters in transit camps may be deleted from electoral rolls during the Enumeration and Special Intensive Revision.

Displaced residents cannot update their Electoral Photo Identity Cards due to lack of a permanent address at transit locations.

Patel urged the ECI to issue directives retaining these voters on rolls with their original residential addresses to prevent disenfranchisement.
