Deputy Commissioner of Chamarajanagar, Shreeroopa, has requested representatives of political parties in Karnataka to verify the voters identified under the ASDDO category during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in the district.
More than 84,000 voters have been identified under the ASDDO category, which includes Absent, Shifted, Duplicate, Dead or Others, in Chamarajanagar district. This category is used when information about the voters is not available. The verification process is crucial to ensure the accuracy of the electoral rolls.
During a meeting with representatives of various recognized national and State political parties, Ms. Shreeroopa reviewed the distribution of enumeration forms and the digitization work being carried out as part of the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls for 2026. She informed that out of the total 8,80,224 voters in Assembly constituencies, filled enumeration forms from 7,96,096 voters had been received and digitized as of August 1.
Ms. Shreeroopa urged the political parties to verify the available information relating to the more than 84,000 voters identified as absent, shifted, deceased, having duplicate registrations, or categorized under ‘Others’ due to insufficient information. She assured that appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the rules based on the verified information.
The Deputy Commissioner also reminded the political parties that August 8 is the last date for submitting filled enumeration forms as part of the SIR. She requested them to create awareness among voters who have not yet submitted their forms, asking them to hand them over to their Booth Level Officers and obtain an acknowledgement. The draft electoral roll will be published on August 17, and voters should ensure that their names are included.
Representatives of various political parties, including H.S. Thontadaryaswamy, N. Nagaiah, S. Balasubrahmanya, M. Chikkamahadevu, and Syed Akram, attended the meeting and were urged to spread awareness through their appointed Booth Level Agents and extend full cooperation to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
