Karnataka's Electoral Roll Revision Advances Amid Bengaluru Distribution Challenges
Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is advancing, with 82.45% of enumeration forms distributed statewide. However, several Bengaluru Assembly constituencies, including Bommanahalli and Bangalore South, lag in form distribution due to urban challenges like apartment access. Meanwhile, the Election Commission has identified over 9.37 lakh voters as absent, shifted, dead, duplicate, or untraceable, delegating political parties to verify these entries through their booth-level agents before further action.
