The Congress party has lodged complaints alleging that voter names are recorded in incorrect wards in more than 20 wards of Ajmer Municipal Corporation ahead of the upcoming elections.
Ajmer's municipal corporation elections are set to take place shortly, and the final voter list has become a point of contention. The Congress party has formally raised concerns that the names of electors have been entered under the wrong wards in more than twenty wards across the city. According to the party's statement, such discrepancies could affect the accuracy of the electoral roll and potentially influence the outcome of the polls. Election officials have not yet responded to the allegations, but the matter is expected to be examined before the polling date to ensure the integrity of the process. The controversy adds to a broader debate on voter‑list accuracy in local elections, a recurring issue in several Indian municipalities.
