24 of the 203-Mangaluru City South assembly constituency was mistakenly marked as that of a deceased person during the digitisation of the enumeration form under the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Mangaluru: The Dakshina Kannada district administration has clarified that the name of a voter in Part No.
The electoral registration officer for the 203-Mangaluru City South constituency subsequently sought an explanation from the concerned BLO and initiated corrective measures. Speaking to reporters, he said officials should proactively identify every individual who had attained the age of 18 and is eligible to vote, and ensure that their names were included in the electoral roll. Because they were unable to appear for in-person verification, khader also expressed concern about voters residing or working abroad being excluded from the electoral roll.
Inclusion of eligible voters should be prioritised over deletion: Khader Health minister UT Khader on Wednesday urged officials and the Election Commission to focus on including eligible voters rather than concentrating solely on deleting names during the second phase of the special intensive revision (SIR).
