PoliticsPhoto: Deccan HeraldKarnataka Deletes 99.32 Lakh Voters in Special Revision, Shrinking Electorate
Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) removed 99.32 lakh voters, shrinking the electorate by 17.91% to 4.55 crore, the largest percentage drop among major states. Of these, 23.49 lakh were deceased or duplicates. The remaining deletions, attributed to absence or migration, raise concerns as Karnataka's population is stable at 6.87 crore. Bengaluru saw 45.5% voter deletions, with little evidence of mass migration, questioning the revision's credibility.
