The revised schedule pushes the draft electoral roll publication to August 24 and final roll to October 27. The extension follows 1.09 crore electors being classified under the ASDDO category across the state. Data shows Bengaluru has the worst problem with nearly 48.4 lakh (46.5% of 1.04 crore) voters marked in these categories. The city's BBMP South constituency leads with 10.87 lakh of 21.44 lakh electors (50.72%) flagged as absent, shifted, dead, duplicate or others. Statewide, the largest chunk of 66.14 lakh are permanently shifted voters, while 16.34 lakh are deceased. The commission has already digitised 4.44 crore forms (80.18% of total) and processed applications for additions, deletions and corrections. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: ASDDO list, Election Commission, Karnataka, SIR, voter enumeration Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karnataka-sir-poll-panel-extends-form-submission-to-august-17/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
