Karnataka Extends Voter Roll Revision Deadline Amid High ASDDO Classifications
Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has flagged over one crore voters, including nearly half of Bengaluru's electorate, under the Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate, and Others (ASDDO) category. The Election Commission has extended the house-to-house enumeration deadline to August 17 and postponed the draft roll publication to August 24, allowing voters more time to verify and correct their details. Concerns have been raised about errors in classification, prompting calls from political leaders and civil society for further extensions to ensure accuracy.
