Duplicate names should be deleted from poll rolls

It is really shocking to see that large numbers of illegal voting cards of migrants are in a every single constituency in Goa . Bogus and duplicate voters are on the electoral rolls which should be deleted before the election day. Many times it is observed that even the dead person has cast his vote. Many outsiders who are staying in the rental houses who go on moving from one place to another their names should be deleted, as before the election day the politicians go in  search of the migrants voters everywhere and even give free tickets to bring them to Goa from their States. Because of the outsiders vote banks politics we have seen election results.  The politicians don't take action against  illegal immigrants and their houses in slum areas because they are their vote banks.  Today migrants are in the large numbers in Goa in the name of employment and in our own Goa we are becoming less. I hereby request the Collectors and the Election Commission to delete the duplicate and bogus voter names from voting list. BLOs should carry out their duties going to village wards and conduct surveys.
