Karnataka is gearing up for a significant electoral exercise with the launch of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, as announced by Deputy Commissioner Poovitha S. This initiative aims to ensure that no eligible voter is left out in the upcoming 2025 elections. The Election Commission has mandated this revision, emphasizing transparency and inclusivity in the electoral process.
The SIR involves meticulous mapping of voters from the 2002 electoral rolls to those slated for the 2025 elections. Political parties are actively participating by nominating Booth Level Agents (BLAs) to assist in this process. This collaborative approach is designed to enhance the accuracy of the electoral rolls and ensure that every eligible voter is accounted for.
Training programs for Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have already commenced, equipping them with the necessary skills to carry out this extensive mapping. The goal is to maintain a voter count of around 1,200 per polling booth, ensuring that families are assigned to the same polling station. This level of detail reflects a commitment to making the electoral process more accessible and organized.
