A shocking case of voter list discrepancies has emerged from Joginagar under Prabhag No. 35, exposing serious lapses in the electoral rolls during the Nagpur Municipal Corporation elections. Dr Nitesh Kamble and his family were forced to run from one polling centre to another due to glaring errors, turning voting day into an ordeal.
Dr Kamble said he and his wife were assigned polling centres at different locations, far from their residence. He had to travel nearly four kilometres to the Ajni Railway Quarters area to cast his vote, while his wife was directed to a polling centre about three kilometres away in Manish Nagar. Despite living in the same household, the couple’s votes were split across distant centres.
The confusion deepened when Dr Kamble’s father, Kisanrao Kamble, discovered that his prabhag itself had been changed. Instead of Prabhag No. 35, his name appeared in Prabhag No. 34 at a polling centre in Jaywant Nagar, again several kilometres away.
The most startling error involved Dr Kamble’s mother, Ratnamala Kamble. Her name was missing from the Nagpur voter list and was instead found in the electoral rolls of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, a completely different city.
“Changing booths and prabhags is bad enough, but shifting a voter to another city shows total administrative failure,” Dr Kamble said, adding that many residents of Joginagar faced similar issues. The incident has raised serious concerns about voter list accuracy and election preparedness.
