The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- KPCC media wing president Ramesh Babu has requested Karnataka's Chief Electoral Officer to review voters excluded as ASD (Absent, Shifted, Dead) during the special intensive revision of electoral rolls.
- In booth number 512 of the Yeshwanthpur assembly constituency in Bengaluru, 62 per cent of the earlier 1,016 voters were categorised under ASD or data mismatch, leaving only 38 per cent marked eligible.
- Ramesh Babu said the problem extends to many booths across the state, with people living in their own homes marked 'shifted' and living people marked 'dead'.
- Ramesh Babu added that voters with 2002 mapping records were also being issued notices saying their mapping was not done.
- The review matters because eligible voters could lose their right to vote, and Ramesh Babu has asked the Chief Electoral Officer's office to conduct the entire process with maximum transparency.
What to watch next
- Response of the Chief Electoral Officer's office to the review request.
- Re-verification of voters classified as shifted or dead.
- Review of notices issued to voters marked as lacking mapping records.
