Karnataka SIR: Final Roll Today Amid Row over Exclusion of 10.8mn From Draft List
- Karnataka published its final electoral roll on October 27 after a three-month Special Intensive Revision exercise that deleted 1.07 crore names across the State.
- The exercise began with 5.54 crore voters, aiming to ensure accuracy by removing ineligible names; the draft roll contained 4.54 crore voters after initial clean-up.
- Deletions mainly involved voters who shifted residence, alongside deceased individuals and duplicate entries; another 3.83 lakh names were removed under the "Others" category, unlike in many other States.
- Applications for inclusion fell far short of the deletions across the State, as many deleted voters were not necessarily ineligible to vote yet few sought restoration.
- The Chief Electoral Officer has not clearly explained what the "Others" category comprises, apart from stating it includes people who refused to sign; individuals would have applied through Form 6 for restoration.
