Karnataka SIR: How Voter Rolls Are Being Made Exclusionary

In the ongoing electoral roll revision in Karnataka, progeny mapping information is not available for 17.19 lakh forms. Even though the mapping details are not available, voters must mandatorily submit their forms to the polling booth level officers (BLO) by August 8. Their names will be included in the draft list that will be published later. If there are any errors, they can be corrected by providing appropriate documents.
