In Goa, the ERO heard the voter, saw the document and decided in their favour, and it made NO difference, because the system that records the roll answers to a division in Delhi, and the division did not act.

So why should you care?

The Commission's answer to every allegation of a rigged roll has been that no one person can touch it: THOUSANDS of EROs prepare it, constituency by constituency.

Goa shows what happens when that STOPS being true.

We asked Goa's Chief Electoral Officer why the 97 were left off the roll.

He told us on record: "We had apprised the ECI in about the cases to be included wherein voters were flagged for logical discrepancies. The call (to not include) was theirs. But there has to be some mechanism (in ECINET) to reinclude voters either at the ERO level."

We asked the EC's DG(IT), Seema Khanna, why the software was never enabled to let the 97 back on. NO ANSWER.

For a Goan, being off the voters' list costs more than a vote.

The state's Mediclaim scheme, which covers dialysis, chemotherapy and transplants, is open only to voters.

For instance, one of the 97 has already been turned away from witnessing a property deed at the sub-registrar's office. His voter ID, he was told, no longer exists.

February 18: the Commission's own Deputy Election Commissioner in New Delhi to the IT chief: "IT system cannot block necessary action as per the directions of SC. please facilitate."

On February 21, Goa published its final roll. We checked all 97 names. As of September 20, EVERY ONE is missing.

[Ritika Chopra @RitikaChopra__]

As the deadline to publish Goa's final roll drew near, election officials on the ground began writing to the ECI in New Delhi: the software was shutting them out, and they needed to carry out the Supreme Court's order.

Goa's CEO's office wrote EIGHT times in just seven days, sometimes twice in a day.

"Response... is still awaited."
"The matter is most urgent."
"No response has been received."

EVERY email went to an ECI officer in New Delhi, with the IT chief Seema Khanna copied. No reply is on record.

[Ritika Chopra @RitikaChopra__]

So what does this look like on the ground? Goa has an answer.

On January 29, the Supreme Court ordered that voters flagged for "logical discrepancies" during the SIR be heard and allowed to show documents. Goa did that.

649 voters came forward. In 97 cases, the officers on the ground found the earlier decision "has to be reversed" and the names put back on the roll.

ECINet didn't permit it. The software had no button to reverse a deletion. ONLY Delhi could add one.

[Ritika Chopra @RitikaChopra__]

But first, what did the two Commissioners record in writing?

They raised questions over the ECI's IT division, and its head Seema Khanna sitting in New Delhi, centralising control of the country's voters' list through a software, ECINet.

They had WARNED the software was "restricting" the EROs (ground-level officers) from doing their statutory duties of adding, deleting and restoring names on the voters' list.

@IndianTechGuide Thats because an employee from this belt was abusive towards female employees and tried to harass one person too. The decision probably came because of multiple poor experiences with employees from this belt.
