Karnataka voters report being wrongly marked absent or shifted in roll revision
Published
Complaints emerged across Karnataka after election officials published a list of voters classified as absent, shifted, dead, duplicate or other during the Special Intensive Revision. Some long-term residents say they were wrongly marked shifted despite submitting forms; the correction deadline preceded publication of the draft roll.
Why it matters
Misclassification can remove eligible citizens from electoral participation. Public lists, accessible corrections and documented decisions are essential before the roll becomes final.
