I would like to explain my pain and vain in getting the voter ID, yesterday at Madiwala-VFC, its was the last date yesterday for the EPIC, almost 2000 people were waiting in the queue (it was a mad rush), I was one among them, waited for hours together( from 4 pm to 8 PM), I could not get the details from one counter and go to the next counter for the voter ID (clicking my photo), my long standing for hours in the queue all went in vain, I also commented on TV 9 news about the problem I/we had faced yesterday. Today morning again I had been to the Madiwala-VFC, to check my details, I tried to check, luckily I met one nice person from the VFC, who helped me to check the details in the database, he told me that my form is rejected???, I was bit surprised about this???, how could this be possible (as I had register through jagoore.com), and I had to explain about my voter registration through jagoore.com, how could my form get rejected.
I am really helpless now, whether to vote!!! Or not to vote!!!, or can I vote????, since my registration has happened I really don’t know. Kindly answer my query

Hey Naveen, It's
It's unfortunate that your name's being rejected. Registering through JaagoRe! doesn't guarantee you that your forms would be accepted and your name would appear on the voters list.
Even with the right form being submitted and proper proofs being provided, the officials reject the application on some ground. And, it's the ERO's discretion to accept your application or reject it. The only option I guess is for you to apply again when they start accepting forms. Since your name's not on the voters list, you wont be able to vote this elections.
thanks for the reply
Yes, that could be a
Yes, that could be a factor definitely. It also gets rejected much before it reaches the data entry. Sometimes I guess just so that they need not come and do the actual verification it might be getting rejected or if it's sent for verification at the ward office, someone there must be rejecting it and sending it back.
The problem is they don't have to give us a reason why it's rejected. The EC should try and bring in more transparency with this process, maybe someway to actually track each form at various stages online. That would prevent a lot of arbitrary rejection of forms.
same story here...can RTI help?
I want to know if the reason for rejection/not being on the voters list can be enquired via an RTI application? Anyone knows if the election commission is under the purview of RTI act?
pahle' tho aap jaagiye'
@ Naveenshetty
The same is the plight of my dughter's friend, whose 'Jaagore' form, I personally filled, submitted at the notified centre and collected an acknowledgement. With the name not showing up on the voters' list yet (checking through the web), I asked her to drop the idea of wasting time at the EPIC issuing centres.
The entire set up is most unprofessional and a disgrace to this country that prides itself of its IT prowess. For more on that, click on: http://praja.in/bangalore....
While we have come to expect such incompetence from government organisations, what is even more tragic is that 'Jaagore' should be sending us on such wild-goose chases without having ensured proper tie-up of a all the loose ends. And, on top of that, burden us with a guilt conscience! They are the ones who need to 'jaago' in the first place.
