So my parents voter’s ID arrived a day before the D-day and dad’s ID had the following

– His photo (a typical voter’s ID – passport size photo)

– His name – misspelt (okie acceptable)

– Gender – listed as female (obviously the person who did the data entry did not bother to cross-check with the photo!)

– Husband’s Name – my grandfather’s name listed there!

And the icing on the cake – the mistake cannot be rectified immediately and one will have to reapply after another couple of months. This is the way things work…
