A photograph of the Hindu deity Hanuman appeared instead of the voter’s picture for Jagdish's son Ramchandra in Kota's Ward 29 electoral roll, prompting officials to hunt for the missing elector.
Election officials in Kota, Rajasthan, discovered an unusual error in the voter list for Ward 29. The entry for Ramchandra, son of Jagdish, displays a picture of the Hindu god Hanuman rather than the applicant’s photograph. The mistake was flagged when the list was reviewed for the upcoming local elections.
The Block Level Officer (BLO) assigned to the area has been searching for the missing voter for ten days. Despite repeated attempts to locate Ramchandra through local records and community contacts, his whereabouts remain unknown, and the incorrect image remains on the official roll.
Authorities have warned that such discrepancies could affect the integrity of the electoral roll and have urged residents to report any similar anomalies. The BLO has initiated a verification process to correct the entry and ensure that all eligible voters are accurately represented before the election date.
