What Happened
The Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer, V Anbukkumar, has made the list of 1.11 crore voters categorized as ASDDO available for public review. This classification covers individuals identified as absent, shifted, dead, or having duplicate registrations. Voters are encouraged to check their status through the official Election Commission website or by contacting their local Booth Level Officer to confirm if they have been incorrectly marked in this category.
The deadline for submitting the required forms to rectify these entries is August 8. After this date, the mobile application used by Booth Level Officers will be frozen, preventing any further updates or uploads.
