Those living in areas which do not come under BBMP areas have to go to far off places to register themselves as voters and due to this, many graduates are not being able to register for election. If the Election Commission simplifies the process of enrolment by allowing bulk registration, making it online and opening registration offices in each ward it will be easy to register.
