Bengaluru: Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has raised concerns over the deletion of 1.08 crore voters during the recent Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the Voters List in Karnataka. In a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner of India, Shivakumar requested an extension of the time frame for filing objections and claims. Over 1.08 crore electors were marked under ASDDO, and an additional 43 lakh voters are facing notices due to logical discrepancies and lack of a link to the 2002 roll.
The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of giving voters at least three to four weeks to respond and provide documentation. He also requested an increase in the number of Election Returning Officers (EROs) and Deputy Election Officers (DEOs) to manage the large volume of claims and prevent errors. Shivakumar assured the CEC that the Karnataka government would provide all necessary support to ensure the process is completed effectively and accurately.
