In Bengaluru, representatives from various political parties have urged the Election Commission (EC) to extend the timeline for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by one year. They argue that the current schedule, set to begin on June 20, is insufficient and could lead to wrongful deletions of eligible voters, particularly affecting migrant workers and nomadic communities. Congress spokesperson Ramesh Babu emphasized the need for more time for voters to obtain necessary documents from revenue authorities. Concerns were also raised regarding the exclusive use of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) for distributing enumeration forms, with fears that political bias could result in eligible voters being excluded. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) representative Darshan Jain highlighted the lack of verification mechanisms for BLO visits, proposing that they upload photographic evidence of their visits to households. While Karnataka has achieved over 86% voter mapping, Bengaluru city lags behind with only about 65% coverage, raising alarms about potential exclusions. CPI(M) office secretary Balakrishna Shetty criticized the EC for requiring fresh documentation from voters verified in the previous SIR exercise, warning that even minor discrepancies could lead to deletions from the electoral rolls.
