But they will be enrolled in the voters’ list only after completing 18 years of age, according to Additional DC Dr. B.S. Manjunathaswamy, who presided over a meeting at the DC office here recently.

The voters can link their voter ID  online or offline, he said adding that voters can use the NVSP and VHA app for online linking. Leaders from all the political parties attended the meeting.
