I dont think the issue is with having the electoral roll available publicly
per se. personally, i think its better that the rolls are available in the
open, as compared with the alternative, where it is confidential, thus
leaving it open to other types of abuses.

perhaps one way is to avoid using postal data altogether.
All header pages in electoral rolls(the first page) contain the name of the
polling station related to that roll, the PS number, and importantly the
pin code.
A site like psleci.nic.in has geog coordinates of polling stations (though
