Attention citizens of Pune! Beware of a misleading message circulating on WhatsApp regarding voting in the upcoming elections. The message claims that individuals not on the voter list can still vote by filling out Form No. 17 and presenting their voter ID card. However, the Pune District Election Administration has issued a warning against spreading such false information, stating that strict action will be taken against those responsible.
It has been clarified that Form No. 17 is meant for students seeking external admission for the 10th and 12th examinations, not for voting purposes. The administration is concerned that spreading false information about voting procedures could lead to confusion and unnecessary trouble for both the public and the administration.
Reports have surfaced of these misleading messages being circulated in the district, prompting the administration to urge citizens to be cautious and avoid believing in rumors. The Election Commission of India has confirmed that extensive work has been done to update voter lists in all assembly constituencies under the Special Brief Campaign 2024.
It is important to note that if your name is not on the voter list, you cannot vote. Those whose names are on the list can cast their votes by presenting their voter ID card or one of the 12 identification proofs accepted by the ECI. Let’s all work together to ensure a fair and transparent election process in Pune. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and don’t fall for false information spread on social media platforms.
