--Details--
In December month, we have facilitated the enrollment of 2340 new voters as part of our voter verification and enrollment drive in Malkajgiri. Due to problems in the Election Commission's website, we could not upload 1200 additional new voter forms that we have with us.

We helped the voters to fill the voter registration forms, including procuring their passport-sized photographs and identity-proof documents. Then we scanned their photographs, digitized their data and ensured that their application was filled online directly in the Election Commission's website. Daily, we set up at least two booths in different parts of the constituency so that citizens can reach out to us.

--Expenses--
We are paying a stipend to dedicated members of Voter India team. Other costs include the expenses for stationary, voter form printouts, voter list printouts, Internet, phone calls, travel costs to head to different parts of the constituency, etc. We get few hundred phone calls every month from people asking for the status of their submissions and related queries. Many volunteers are also
involved on pro-bono basis.

We want to scale up this activity by paying stipend to cover the basis expenses of dedicated people who are walking the streets daily from morning to evening.
