The Karnataka chief electoral officer said 2,41,082 names have been rolled back from the ASDDO list since the ongoing Special Intensive Revision began on August 5. As of August 12, the ASDDO category, covering absent, shifted, dead, duplicate and other voters, stood at 1.08 crore, down from 1.11 crore on August 5. Most rollbacks were in the permanently shifted category (95,037), followed by absent (85,267) and others (80,492). CEO V Anbukkumar said the ASDDO list is available on the CEO Karnataka website and will be updated on August 15 and 17, the final day of house-to-house verification. He warned against using private websites detailing electoral data. The state has 5.54 crore total electors, of which 80.38 per cent have been digitised. The number of polling stations will rise from 59,050 to 60,898, with a cap of 1,200 voters per station.
