Booth-level officers can rectify incorrectly-mapped details: Karnataka chief electoral officer

Booth-level officers (BLOs) can rectify incorrectly-mapped details during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Karnataka.

Mapping errors include married women linked to fathers-in-law and children mapped to wrong namesakes due to common father names.

At least 1.6 crore voters in Karnataka have been mapped to the 2002 list, with 2 crore progenies mapped as of July 25, 2026.

QR codes on enumeration forms in Mahadevapura were sometimes mapped to random people, e.g., J Taj mapped to H Ramaiah.

Digitization takes two minutes with correct mapping data, but rectifying errors takes about 10 minutes per case.
