Karnataka Revises Electoral Rolls with New Hearing Provisions for Vulnerable Voters
Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has issued over 24.97 lakh notices to electors with discrepancies. To ease the process, election officials now allow adult family members to attend hearings on behalf of senior citizens, persons with disabilities, sick, and overseas voters. While some voters express concerns about mandatory in-person hearings and lack of acknowledgment for submitted documents, authorities have set deadlines for hearings and claim disposal, with a second voter registration campaign planned for September 19-20.
