Mumbai: Amid rising political tensions over alleged bogus voters and double voting, the Maharashtra State Election Commission (SEC) has issued detailed instructions to its officials for verifying and handling duplicate and triplicate names in the voters’ lists ahead of the upcoming local body elections.

The Commission has directed officials to obtain a written declaration from voters whose names appear more than once in the electoral roll, affirming that they will cast their vote only at the polling station assigned to them. It also reiterated that it cannot delete voters’ names, as the rolls are sourced directly from those prepared by the Election Commission of India (ECI) during the Assembly elections.
