In Vijayapura district, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process has resulted in the omission of 14% of voter names from the electoral rolls, impacting 2.97 lakh voters. The district originally had 19,82,114 registered voters, but the SIR draft list now contains 16,84,968 names, leaving out 2,97,146 identifiers. These excluded individuals fall under categories such as Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate and others (ASDDOs).
The SIR was carried out according to the Election Commission of India's directives, and the draft list has been published for review across Tahsildar offices, taluk and gram panchayats. The final date for individuals to request their names to be added to the rolls is September 23. Both voters and political party representatives have been granted the opportunity to review the draft list and submit any objections by the same date.
If a voter's name is not present in the draft list, they can apply for inclusion by submitting Form 6 through designated officials or the Voter Service Portal. Eligible voters whose names are absent from the draft list have until September 23 to apply for inclusion. The application process is open in English, following specific guidelines regarding comments, including their length, language, and tone.
