Delayed Notices Cause Crowding at Karnataka Voter Hearing Centers During Electoral Roll Revision
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Karnataka's electoral rolls has issued 43.81 lakh notices for no-mapping and logical discrepancies, but delays in delivery by booth-level officers (BLOs) have caused crowding and confusion at voter hearing centers. By September 10, 24.97 lakh notices were delivered, leaving 18.84 lakh undelivered. Voters reported postponed hearings and inadequate facilities, with calls for streamlined processes and home verification for senior citizens, the sick, and persons with disabilities.
