Several voters in Nerul expressed dissatisfaction and confusion during the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) elections held on Thursday, citing issues ranging from errors in voter lists to a lack of clarity in the new panel-based voting system.

Johnson KV, 68, a resident of Sector 18 in Nerul, said he was unhappy after his wife’s name was once again missing from the voter list. According to Johnson, the issue dates back to the previous election when her name was misspelt, preventing her from casting her vote. “The last time we came to vote, my wife’s name was listed, but it was misspelt, so she could not vote. This time I didn’t find her name. We live at the same address, so her name should have been there. I had to come alone to cast my vote,” he said.
