The Story in Brief
Haveri district has the second highest number of ineligible voters in Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Of the 13.35 lakh voters in the district, 1.14 lakh have been flagged as ineligible, Deccan Herald reports.
The Election Commission will allow these voters to prove their eligibility and file objections before the final list is published. The revision aims to clean up duplicate or deceased entries ahead of upcoming elections.
The Indian Opinion
Some may cry political vendetta, but the SIR process is routine and procedural, it gives flagged voters a chance to respond. The real test will be how many objections are actually filed and accepted. If half the 1.14 lakh remain after scrutiny, that is a different story. Till then, cries of disenfranchisement are premature.
