The Congress party in Mysuru has cried foul over the reported refusal by officials to accept hard copies of applications for voter enrollment.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Tuesday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana lamented that the officials were only accepting online applications for voter enrollment.
He claimed that the officials in the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) zonal or taluk offices in the district were not accepting hard copies of applications in the forms stipulated by the Election Commission of India for voter enrollment and instead asking applicants to complete the process online.
