Karnataka Voter-List Review Puts 1.5 Crore At Risk
Voter Shock in Karnataka | DK Shivakumar Urges ECI to Save 1.5 Crore Voters | Brass Tacks · news18.com

Karnataka is checking its list of people who can vote.

Reports say nearly 1.5 crore voters could be removed or left out if problems in their records are not fixed.

Bengaluru may have many affected voters because some records contain discrepancies.

Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar asked election officials to give people more time.

This would let voters check their details and submit complaints or corrections.

The Election Commission of India is responsible for the electoral-roll process.

The concern is that some people might lose their chance to vote.

The issue is still connected to an ongoing verification exercise.
