Poor response by migrant voters in 3rd phase also 12/9/2014 11:58:43 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Dec 9: Poor response was shown by Kashmiri migrants in the third phase of polling today as out of over 19000 registered migrant voters in 16 Assembly segments of Valley that went to polling today only 4607 exercised their franchise. The cumbersome voting procedure is being given one of the main reason by displaced Pandits for the poor response to voting who also accused the present Union Government of not simplifying the procedure. We had pinned high hopes that the Modi Government will simplify the procedure and make it easy for migrants to cast their vote said Anil Kumar who had come to cast his vote at one of the polling booths at DSE Jammu.
