My Recent Experience with the Election Commission Office (Mumbai)
Few years before, I did take my time out to visit the Election office & the first thing that I noticed while climbing the stairs were the
Trademark PAN Stains which confirmed that one walked the path of a government office. Next were the
conversations with the so called Babus who were least bothered about you &
the bundled stock of election papers
everywhere.
I am now writing this post on my recent experience with the Election Commission Office.My previous experience with the Election Commission people have always been frustrating. The Name & Address mentioned in the Electoral Roll are always messed up with even after filling up the forms for correction.
I thought, Why not give it an another try to correct the entries, but this time I wanted to use their Online mode of submission & hence opted for it & the process for it is pretty simple.
This was my experience years back & now there hasn’t been many changes, but the change is far better than what it was.
- Less Pan Stains.
- Counters for different Form Submissions.
- Computerized Counters for people who opted for “Online Submission” of their forms through the Election Commission Website.
Documents Required
1) Date of Birth Proof (Education Certificate/Birth Certificate)
2) Address Proof (Ration Card/ Electricity Bill/ Pan Card/ Driving License)
Note: If any applicant submits only ration card as proof of address, it should be accompanied by one more proof of address out of the above categories as per Election Commission.
You need to upload the scanned copies of these documents online as well as carry the same original documents with you during the manual verification of documents.
