# Karnataka voter rolls show 1.09 crore in suspect category 2026-08-09T02:42:58+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Karnataka's electoral roll revision has placed 1.09 crore electors, or nearly 20% of the state's 5.54 crore voters, in the ASDDO category (Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate, Others), according to data from the Chief Electoral Officer’s office, reported by The New Indian Express. In Bengaluru’s three Lok Sabha constituencies, the number of voters in this category almost equals the votes cast in the 2024 election. The Hindu reports that in Bengaluru South, 50.5% of electors are now under ASDDO, compared to 53.34% voter turnout in 2024, leaving only 49.5% of the electorate outside the suspect list. Officials attribute the high numbers to duplicate voters registered in other states, noting that those marked as permanently shifted cannot be reclassified unless they confirm their identity. Electors have until August 17 to raise objections, with names of those filing Form-6 to be included in the final rolls. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - newindianexpress.com Tags: ASDDO, Bengaluru, Election Commission, electoral rolls, Lok Sabha 2024 Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-rolls-show-nearly-as-many-suspect-voters-as-2024-turnout/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
