Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has identified over 1.07 crore voters under categories like Absent, Shifted, Duplicate, Dead, and Others (ASDDO), with draft rolls published on August 24. Around 74 lakh voters face difficulties, including 15 lakh eligible voters at risk of exclusion.
