The Election Commission of India published a list of 97 registered voters in Goa, noting that 88 forms were submitted, while three voters were omitted from the roll because they hold Portuguese passports.
The Election Commission of India (EC) released a detailed voter list for the state of Goa, indicating that 97 individuals are registered to vote in the region. Of these, 88 voter registration forms were successfully submitted and verified by the commission.
Three applicants were excluded from the roll because they hold valid Portuguese passports. Under Indian electoral law, foreign nationals are not eligible to vote, and possession of a foreign passport disqualifies a person from being listed as a voter.
The EC’s announcement clarifies that the exclusion is purely administrative and does not reflect any political bias. The commission emphasized that all other voters have met the necessary eligibility criteria.
The list will be used for upcoming elections, ensuring that only eligible citizens can participate in the democratic process. The EC has urged any concerned voters to verify their status and update their records if necessary.
