Residents of Juhu who turned up early to cast their vote on Thursday could not find their names in the lists at their polling booths. Rasbihari B Lalwani, a resident of Juhu, whose polling centre was the Narsee Jamnabai School campus (ward 67), claimed that he came in early at 8 am with his elderly parents to cast vote but could not find his or the names of his parents in the voters' list at the polling centre.

Talking about his struggle, he told mid-day, “I went to the centre at 8 am with my elderly parents, who are both over 75. As we reached the booth, the officers there told us none of our names were in the list.” The confusion which started out at 8 am lasted till 10 am. “I kept insisting that the officers should look more closely, but they kept refusing to look into the issue. My elderly parents were not even provided sitting accommodations while I dealt with the missing names,” Lalwani said.
