Voter registration drive at office campuses

by November 26, 2008 Governance

VoteDeIndia has been conducting voter registration drives at MNC campuses in Bangalore, most recently at Cognizant and Sasken.

Voter registration for Bengaluru’s MNC employees is now as simple as a walk to their cafe!

VoteDeIndia has been conducting such drives at MNC campuses throughout Bangalore, most recently at Cognizant and Sasken. VoteDeIndia is volunteer, non-profit and non-partisian initiative run by a group Bangaloreans from the Infotech sector to increasing voter (electorate) turnout.

The drive, which started with on-campus registrations in September, has been helping non-registered voters to register, so that they become eligible to get a voter ID. So far, VoteDeIndia has been successful in getting around 1000 members to sign up.

VoteDeIndia helps individuals in:

(1) Accurate identification of constituency and ward (This info is needed to fill and file Form-6, the voter registration form)

(2) Online filling so that forms are unambiguously and clearly readable by government electoral reigstration offices.

(3) Citizens can file the signed Form-6 right at their employer’s cafe. VoteDeIndia will deliver the forms to appropriate electoral registration offices (ERO).

This registration drive will run long as the ERO offices continue to accept Form-6 (which could be until Feb 2009).

So MNC employees, among readers of Citizen Matters, can help themselves and help their co-employees by approaching VoteDeIndia to conduct such drives at their own campuses.

by November 6, 2026 Governance
While the mega-cities have split up into smaller corporations, both have put state leadership in control of city governance.

With the Core Urban Region (Integrated Governance) Bill 2026, better known as the CURE Bill passing in the Telangana Legislative Assembly, India's two fastest-growing mega-cities—both having crossed the 1.3-crore population mark—now operate under brand-new urban governance laws enacted within roughly two years of each other.  Both states confronted the exact same structural challenge: a single, overstretched corporation, fractured inter-agency coordination, and an urgent need for hyper-local administrative units capable of  delivering civic services efficiently. In an earlier article, we broke down how local governance would change with the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act. Read it here. Two mega-cities, one playbook The…

SIR in Bengaluru: Disenfranchisement at a grand scale

by November 2, 2026 Governance
With Bengaluru Urban seeing a 42 per cent reduction in the voter rolls, is the SIR an update or a denial of electors' rights?

The CEO Karnataka recently published the final rolls for Karnataka after finishing their hurried and stressful Special Intensive Revision (SIR). People were asked to prove that they live where they do, and map themselves or their parents/ancestors to the 2002 voter roll. The final roll published now has 4.54 Crore electors in Karnataka as against the 5.54 Cr as per the 2025 Special Summary Review; a reduction of almost one crore electors or 18% of the earlier rolls.
