New Delhi: Shweta Sharma, a resident of Dehradun, tweeted on Thursday morning: "Celebration of democracy in Uttarakhand today. Will be there to cast my vote." However, crestfallen after finding her name missing from the voters' list, she, like many others, took to Twitter to share her anguish.

The flood of Twitter posts reporting names going missing from the electoral rolls began after Shobana Kamineni, Vice Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals, tweeted that she found her name disappear from the list at a polling booth in Hyderabad.
