Karnataka Advances Electoral Roll Revision Amid Political Concerns and Hearings
Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has delivered over 4.16 million notices, with 28.8 lakh hearings completed and 12.8 lakh pending ahead of the October 12 deadline. The process aims to update voter lists, including additions, deletions, and corrections, with officials emphasizing procedural delays rather than rejections. Chief Minister D K Shivakumar supports the revision but criticizes its political use and backs calls for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Final roll publication is scheduled for October 27.
