Karnataka Voters Report Anomalies and Missing Records During Electoral Roll Revision
During Karnataka's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, voters have reported issues including online notifications flagging 'logical discrepancies' in their enumeration forms and difficulties locating polling booths from the 2002 digitised records. These challenges, noted particularly in Bengaluru's Mahadevapura constituency, relate to family linkage verification and missing historical polling station data. Election officials, including CEO V. Anbu Kumar, acknowledge these concerns and attribute some issues to constituency boundary changes since 2008, promising to investigate the complaints.
