Karnataka's Electoral Roll Revision May Delete Around 12 Lakh Voters Due to Migration and Discrepancies
Political groups and activists monitoring Karnataka's pre-Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls estimate that around 12 lakh voters may be deleted due to migration and logical discrepancies. The Election Commission plans to freeze the digital voter list on June 16 after processing pending applications for new registrations, objections, and updates. Challenges include mapping women voters who changed details after marriage and linking records across neighboring states. The deletion estimate aligns with national trends, except Kerala.
