If ASD voter's name in electoral role is found deleted.... Then what should do..... Can I able to give permission to cast vote or not.....

[@EduRKB]

The name of an ASD voter will not be DELETED. If a voter's name is deleted by mistake also, he/she can't cast vote. The mistake will be corrected in the subsequent updation processes.
