YOUR VOTE COUNTS!
I recently met someone who said he was disappointed he may not be able to vote because he had not received his voter ID card. If you do not have a voter ID card but have your name on the electoral rolls, you can still vote by carrying a photo id proof. To find your name on the electoral rolls, check this link
If your name has been newly added, it is possible that you may not find your name using the above link. In that case, check out your assembly constituency voting lists on the links below. These give the electoral rolls by polling booth.
Bangalore South
Bangalore Central
Bangalore North
Bangalore Urban
Bangalore Rural
Make sure your voice is heard by taking the time to cast your vote. Encourage your friends and neighbours to vote too.
Tip: Booths open around 7 a.m. so go early to beat the crowds and queues.
And after you've voted, enjoy the voting holiday and long weekend!
