Concerns Raised Over Voter Deletions During Karnataka's Electoral Roll Revision
Actor-activist Prakash Raj launched a 10-day 'SIR Resistance Tour' in Kalaburagi to highlight concerns over voter deletions during Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He cited over 5 lakh voters in Kalaburagi placed under the ASDDO category and questioned the requirement for existing voters to re-register via Form 6. Civil society groups like Eddelu Karnataka are documenting discrepancies across 100 polling stations in 25 districts, reporting that many eligible voters, especially from marginalized communities, face challenges due to document demands and short deadlines.
