Concerns have been raised over alleged inconsistencies in the voter verification process, with opposition leaders claiming that different standards are being applied to voters in Margao. Elvis Gomes and Savio Coutinho have alleged that while some voters are being issued one-sided notices asking them to submit multiple proofs of identity, special Aadhaar card camps are simultaneously being organised to facilitate address corrections for migrant voters.
According to the two leaders, the most surprising aspect of the exercise is the location of these camps, which are reportedly being held in areas such as Moti Dongor, Azad Nagar, Fakir Band and other localities. They claimed that the camps appear to be designed primarily to assist migrant voters in updating their Aadhaar details.
Gomes and Coutinho alleged that this selective facilitation raises serious questions about the intent behind the exercise and the fairness of the overall voter verification process. They called for transparency and uniformity, stating that all voters should be treated equally and subjected to the same rules and procedures.
The allegations have added to the ongoing political debate over electoral processes and voter identity verification in the state, with demands growing for clarity from the authorities to dispel public doubts.
