Well this is another one in the “Only in Mumbai” category.

At the recent civic elections, even dead people voted. Call it divine intervention ?

The civic elections are over, but the mud slinging refuses to die down. The latest incident to surface is that of dead people exercising their franchise.

According to Chandivli resident Iftekar Khan, names of more than 10 deceased from the Mohili Pipeline area in L-Ward have been used for bogus voting. Khan’s wife was an independent candidate from the area these elections.

“Some of these people died over a year ago and they still voted. How is it possible?” asked Khan.

The whole thing is now mired in legalase and I guess its another one of those incidents that happens and life goes on. To be fair with a billion people in the country and an electorate that is the biggest in the world, some glitches are bound to happen.

And it’s not like we are the only ones that screw up the elections. Ask Al Gore.
