Karnataka Sees Mass Voter Deletions and Low Re-enrollment in Electoral Rolls
In Karnataka, over 4,000 Form-7 applications have been filed seeking deletion of voter names, predominantly targeting Muslim voters across various Assembly constituencies, including those represented by Congress and BJP members. Concurrently, only about 7.14% of the 1.07 crore voters removed under the ASDDO category have applied for re-inclusion via Form 6, with Bengaluru districts experiencing significant net voter losses. These developments reflect ongoing electoral roll revisions ahead of upcoming elections, involving both deletions and limited re-enrollments.
