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.
