Karnataka Removes 2.41 Lakh Voters from ASDDO List During Electoral Roll Revision
Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls led to the removal of 2.41 lakh voters wrongly listed under the ASDDO (Absent, Shifted, Duplicate, Dead, Others) categories between August 5 and 12. Corrections included removing voters misclassified as absent, shifted, or refusing to sign enumeration forms. Meanwhile, numbers in the dead and duplicate categories increased slightly. The Chief Electoral Officer credited political parties and booth-level officers for verifying and updating the lists to improve accuracy.
