Ahead of the fifth phase of India’s Lok Sabha Election 2024, a Mumbai resident discovered an anomaly on his mother’s voter ID card issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI). The card, meant to facilitate voting, had no name printed on it, leaving the man astonished. The user shared the issue on Reddit, highlighting the error and seeking advice from the community. The post sparked concerns among netizens, who questioned the validity of the card at polling booths. Some suggested using Aadhar cards as an alternative, while others criticized the government’s software for such mistakes. The incident has raised questions about the reliability of voter IDs, particularly in key Maharashtra Lok Sabha seats like Mumbai, Palghar, Kalyan, and Thane, which will go to polls on May 20.
