Karnataka and Maharashtra Conduct Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls
Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has identified over 18 lakh voters whose details were missing from the 2002 database, with Bengaluru Urban accounting for the highest number. Additionally, 44.84 lakh voters fall under the ASDDO category, including absent, shifted, duplicate, and deceased voters. The CEO has urged verification of these lists. Meanwhile, Maharashtra's CEO noted that 'logical discrepancies' in the SIR will be clarified after draft rolls are published on August 17, following door-to-door verification ending August 8.
