For some unknown reason, my name is removed from the Voter’s list despite residing at same address as the Voter ID card and despite voting with same credentials in the past State elections in 2021. After much struggle, had to come back empty handed without voting. Anyway, I have registered a complaint to ECI and have asked them for a reason to why my name is not on the electoral list. Here is a quick guide for others who might be facing a similar issue.
