Special Intensive Revision Ends with Over 1.08 Crore Voters Flagged in ASDDO Categories
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) enumeration phase has concluded, with over 1.08 crore voters flagged under categories like Absent, Shifted, Duplicate, Dead, and Others (ASDDO), excluding them from the upcoming draft electoral roll. Digitisation rates vary across regions, with some areas showing lower completion. Officials report many pending forms relate to voters who have moved or cannot be located despite multiple visits. Concerns have been raised about voters remaining in ASDDO despite correction requests, affecting constituencies in Delhi and Karnataka ahead of the August 24 draft publication.
