Karnataka voter roll review finds 99.32 lakh ASDD entries
In short
Karnataka’s voter list review found about 99.32 lakh voters in the ASDD group. The earlier roll had 5.54 crore names.
The report says most of these voters had moved away permanently. This matters because the voter list is being cleaned up, but the final revised count is not stated.
What the reporting says
Karnataka's voter roll review found about 99.32 lakh voters in the ASDD category, against an earlier roll of 5.54 crore names, according to the publisher summary. The category covers voters who are absent, permanently shifted, dead or already enrolled elsewhere, with most found to have permanently shifted residence. The immediate consequence is a major voter-list cleanup, while the reporting does not state the final revised roll size.
