Seriously P.O.ed . . . Can't find my name on the Electoral Roll

Despite having my voter ID card and every other Indian national ID there is, I couldn't vote today because my name was missing from the electoral roll.  This despite the fact that I voted in the 2009 elections with the same voter ID card.  So I am forced to sit out what by all indications is the most critical election in a generation.  Nice going, ECI!

    1. Very annoying but we were not the only ones to find our names missing; we saw many others with similar stories in our polling station. And apparently, according to Indian Express, a problem in other areas too:
