Voter Confusion and Challenges Arise During Special Intensive Revision Hearings in Bengaluru and Delhi
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bengaluru and Delhi has caused confusion among voters flagged for discrepancies or 'no mapping' in electoral rolls. Many face challenges understanding notices, attending hearings, and providing required documents, with elderly and absent voters particularly affected. Political parties in Karnataka have requested extensions due to short notice periods, contrasting with West Bengal where parties actively supported voters. Language barriers also arise, as Delhi issues notices only in English, while Karnataka uses multiple languages to accommodate diverse populations.
