Karnataka Electoral Roll Revision Faces Notice Delays and Hearing Challenges
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Karnataka's electoral rolls has generated 43.81 lakh notices for no-mapping and logical discrepancies, with over 34.96 lakh delivered by mid-September. Delays in notice delivery by Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have caused crowding and confusion at hearing centers, which lack adequate facilities and token systems. Voters face challenges submitting correction and inclusion forms due to system errors and workload pressures. The Chief Electoral Officer reported that more than half of the hearings have been completed, while some districts show higher completion rates than others.
