@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka Despite coming on my motorcycle, it took me 15 min to simply get out. I'm supposed to bring her here? https://t.co/99hprQhDOf

@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka Does she really want to vote? He asks. She's 90 no?
She has always voted and will keep voting until she can, I reply
Another sigh
You can pick me up? Yes
Ok come on date of hearing. If others waiting here agree I will go with you
And that is where it

@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka Finally got the forms. Had my photo taken repeatedly. Signed.
What about my mother on the day of the hearing? You'll come home, I ask.
A cloud come across his face. Sir, you can see my situation. Somehow can you bring her here?
She's 90, wheelchair

@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka Got the notices
Our details are being entered in a register. Can I leave? No.
BLO says he has to sign them first
Now he's disappeared
This quiet gentleman has been waiting since before I got here https://t.co/8GLEaoLyIm

@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka Back with the BLO. He's harried. Give me 10 min for lunch. So he ate. But he cant just hand over the notice to me
He first photographed my and mother's SIR forms. Then told an assistant to search. Page by painstaking page we searched
It's been 45 min ht

@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka Oh well, next week I'll go back to the BLO and get my & my mother's notice
Her reason says "Unmapped with last SIR", which is technically correct because I could not find her 2002 voting details, which should be the EC's responsibility not ours. Took wee

@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka Fortunately, some neighbourhood samaritan zeroed in on our voting booth & after scrolling I found my name & the exact, official reason: "self-name mismatch"
As I said earlier, there's no mismatch. I thought I was lucky that my name has stayed the same ov

@ECISVEEP @ceo_karnataka The EC has released this list of those who have got notices statewide: https://t.co/KLSklFzyF7 Is it searchable? No. You have find your area (BBMP north, south, east, whatever), then find your constituency, download the entire file and search page by page

After waiting for 45 min, I decided to leave & return to the battle another day
You have time, others there told me. Mother's hearing is on Sept 15, mine Sept 28
Frustrated, cursing voters were all around
No democracy does this, I said
An uncle replied: this is a democracy?

I can do that easily sir, he said, it will take only 2 minutes. But unless he scans it, cuts the acknowledgement & gives it to you, it's useless
The assistant did not know how to scan. He, too, saw the list like all of us last night via WhatsApp
Wait, it will take time, he said

After scanning a few, the harried man leaped over the school desks and left. He was being besieged also by people who had come for hearings but couldn't find the "magistrates" or EROs.
He went to find the EROs. At least give me my and my mother's form, I told his assistant

This was the scene
First you have show where you name is on the list (the existence & location of which many have no idea) of those who have received notices
Then the BLO will get your form, but only give it to you after scanning it. Its just him scanning hundreds

UPDATE: I've just returned after trying to simply collect my notice
I failed to even do that
When I got there, a local govt college, on my motorcycle (cars cant get there), there was utter chaos
Most had come for notices, others for hearings (which many dont know about) https:

The #BJP has enthusiastically promoted its desire for an adarsh, or ideal, citizen. Now, the effort is on to create the adarsh voter: documented, traceable, legitimate and, above all, acceptable to the state

This is how a seemingly bureaucratic exercise has morphed into a chaotic, traumatic, unfair test of whether citizens can prove their right to vote—and, for millions, their right to belong to India & be Indian

My privilege affords me a cupboard full of identity documents and—so I had thought—citizenship. It appears to mean little
But I am sure I will make the cut somehow
Millions will not, especially if they are from minorities or from disadvantaged or dispossessed communities

My hearing is on 28 Sept at a local government college
The college is at the end of a dug-up lane accessible only by two-wheeler
There is no chance my 90-year-old, wheelchair-bound mother can get there. There is no word about any special arrangement for people like her

The BLO has told those who have spoken to him that physical presence is mandatory
So what happens to someone who cannot appear?
What happens to my mother? Will she cease to be a voter? A citizen?

Last date for “claims/objections” is 22 Oct, leaving the “magistrates”, or electoral registration officers, <60 days to decide the electoral—and possibly citizenship—fates of 4.38 million (2.4 million in Bengaluru alone) in Karnataka

Many neighbours work outside Bengaluru or abroad & may not know their voting rights—maybe citizenship—are at stake
Those not on the WhatsApp group may never hear about the notices, which aren't online
I don’t know what’s happening in the poorer parts of our constituency

Of the acceptable documents, I have a Class 10 marks card & passport
Govt says a passport is not proof of citizenship & the CEC says proving citizenship is an SIR goal
I have no birth certificate
So my marks card may be my only hope of proving I belong to this country

Apparently, the BLO is supposed to deliver a notice or call, explaining why someone has been flagged, with date, time & place of the hearing
He isn't doing this because, he says. It is impossible
So today I will have to find him & get my notice

A google search says “self” means the Election Commission has matched my electoral-roll entry with the 2002 roll
So why have I been called for a hearing? Perhaps a spelling anomaly?
But I am that rare case where the spelling of my name has remained unchanged for 24 years

2 days ago, our neighbourhood WhatsApp group was in ferment. People had received notices to appear before a “magistrate” with documents proving family links or birth credentials
I felt secure. My name was on the roll (+I was Hindu, upper class)
I was wrong

Then someone posted the list of people who had received notices. I scrolled through page after page, astonished to find what seemed like the entire neighbourhood, which is majority Muslim+Christian
Then I found my name—and my 90-year-old mother’s

I thought I had done everything required under Karnataka’s SIR
After online/offline detective work, helped by neighbours on WhatsApp, I tracked down 2002 voting details for myself & my mother Both our names appeared on the draft roll on 24 Aug
I heaved a sigh of relief
