Voter Fraud Allegations Rock Kerala Panchayat Election: Minors Illegally Enrolled?

Kozhikode, India – November 23, 2025 – A potential scandal has erupted in the Kattippara panchayat of Kozhikode district, Kerala, with allegations of voter fraud targeting underage students. Authorities have launched an investigation into claims that six minors were illegally added to the voters’ list for the upcoming panchayat election.

The complaint was filed by members of the Left Democratic Front (LDF), who accuse campaigners from the United Democratic Front (UDF) of manipulating the students’ Aadhaar card details. According to the LDF, the birth years on the Aadhaar cards of the minors, all born after January 1, 2007, were allegedly altered to 2006 to make them appear eligible to vote. Copies of the allegedly tampered documents have been submitted as evidence to election officials.

“This manipulation was a clear attempt to inflate the voter count in ward number six of the grama panchayat,” said a former ward member. “A thorough review of voter lists in surrounding areas is necessary.”

The UDF has vehemently denied any involvement in the alleged malpractice, stating they are awaiting the findings of the official investigation.

Election officials have confirmed that manipulating the voters’ list is a serious offense punishable under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. If found guilty, those responsible could face imprisonment of up to one year, a fine, or both.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have assured the public they will pursue the matter to the fullest extent of the law.
