Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer V Anbukkumar has directed district election officials, deputy commissioners and civic bodies to mobilise staff and polling infrastructure for four special drives to help voters file claims and objections.
The four-day exercise will be held across the state. The move aims to streamline the electoral roll and ensure all eligible citizens can participate in the electoral process without hurdles.
Officials have been asked to complete the required arrangements ahead of the drives. Further details on the schedule are expected to be announced shortly.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Voter registration drives typically precede a revision of electoral rolls, a process governed by the Election Commission of India before major polls. Karnataka has over 5 crore registered voters, and any update can affect seat-level arithmetic in the 224 assembly constituencies. The special drive gives eligible citizens a last window to enrol before the rolls are frozen. The actual dates of the four drives and whether they fall before the 2028 assembly elections will determine how many new voters are added.
