How did over 1 crore Karnataka voters end up in ASDDO category? | Explained
What were the major concerns with filling the enumeration form in Karnataka’s SIR process? Why is the State reporting one of the highest ASDDO figures? What happens to voters who are not mapped or have logical discrepancies?
Over 1.08 crore voters in Karnataka are facing exclusion from the state's draft electoral rolls to be released on August 24 due to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. This places Karnataka among the few states with a large number of voters in the ASDDO (Assembled, Stopped, Dead, Deported, or Overseas) category. In Delhi, the figure stands at 47.7 lakh unclosed forms, while Telangana removed 73.39 lakh voters from the rolls after publishing its draft on August 17.
The voter exclusion is a result of the SIR process that aims to maintain accurate and up-to-date electoral rolls.
