After visiting three different polling stations near her home, she said, "I voted at this very polling station for the Lok Sabha elections in 2019 and Assembly polls in 2018; it's sad to know that my name would be deleted from the list just like that." One disgruntled voter grumbled, "The officers told me they can't help me and asked me to apply another time so I'll be able to vote at least for the general elections." A few latecomers, meanwhile, made hurried attempts after 5 pm, trying to convince the officials using various reasons of work, unable to find the polling station, a family member casting their vote at another polling station, and more.
