The Special Intensive Revision exercise aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of Karnataka’s electoral rolls for future elections. Election officials are conducting door-to-door verification across the state until the August 8 deadline. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has supported the revision process, emphasizing the need to identify duplicate, deceased, shifted, and ineligible voters, including alleged illegal immigrants. On the other hand, the ruling Congress government has urged that the exercise should not be politicized and has pledged assistance to eligible voters in completing the process. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has emphasized the importance of ensuring that no genuine voter loses their voting rights.
