Karnataka Nomadic and Tribal Communities Encounter Challenges in Electoral Roll Revision
Nomadic and tribal communities in Karnataka face challenges during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls due to lack of proper documents, literacy issues, and mobility. In Belagavi, many nomadic tribe members lack voter ID and Aadhaar cards, complicating registration. In Kodagu and Bengaluru, residents report not receiving enumeration forms despite official claims of full distribution, with difficulties contacting Booth Level Officers. Officials maintain that all eligible voters have been issued forms, though some communities continue to experience access problems.
