During Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls from June 20 to October 27, 20% of voters were removed. Twice as many women as men were deleted, with Bengaluru and young voters most affected. The final rolls dropped by over 9.9 million names, mainly due to permanent shifts, untraceable voters, or refusals. No clear political bias was found in deletions, according to the Sabar Institute's analysis.
