Electoral Roll Revisions in Uttarakhand and Karnataka Remove Thousands of Voters
Recent Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Uttarakhand and Karnataka revealed significant voter deletions. In Uttarakhand's Gadarpur, over 2,700 names were removed after the official deadline, with election officials citing procedural delays. In Karnataka, analysis showed nearly 10 million voters were deleted, disproportionately affecting women outside Bengaluru and younger voters. No clear partisan pattern emerged in deletions across BJP and Congress-held seats. Both states' revisions raised concerns about voter inclusion and accuracy ahead of elections.
