The Goa Su-Raj Party is happy to announce its solidarity with the
'Pilern Citizens Forum - PCF led by Adv. Yatish Naik and others
demanding the outright scrapping of the existing Photo Electoral Roll
so that a new, more honest , proper and consistent electoral roll may
be prepared for this State to cull the bogus voters and/or migrants
enlisted in the electoral roll at the behest of influential politicians
and/or dishonest enrolling officers.
This Party has written to the CEO, Altinho, Panjim yesterday that a
delegation of the Party Executive members want to meet with the
visiting Chief Election Commissioner, who will be in Goa on 30th and
31st. August, 2010.
This Party wants to bring to the notice of the CEC the different
procedures followed by every Mamlatdar of the State of Goa when the
procedure to be followed to enroll/transfer/delete voters into/from
the electoral roll is uniform and is prescribed in the guidelines set
by the CEC.
This Party wants to impress upon the CEC that for far too long, due to
the hog-wash electoral enlisting/deleting procedures followed by the CEO
Goa through various Mamlatdars, Goans are getting the government they do
not deserve. Also this Party wants to ask the CEC as to how a person who
holds the EPIC ID Card can be deleted from the electoral roll for
reasons of not being present at the declared place of residence when the
electoral officers/enumerators visit the place. As to our best
understanding, if a person is a citizen of India and if that person is
enrolled into the electoral roll and is issued a voter's ID, that
person cannot be deleted from the rolls for merely being absent from the
place of residence. That there are set procedures to be followed to
ascertain whether the person's name should be deleted or not.
This Party hopes that the CEC gives due consideration and respect the
Party's wishes and meet with him on this sensitive issue.
