Karnataka electoral officer publishes SIR notice list after public pressure, but key details still missing

Monday, 7 September 2026, 06:42 · 1 min read

Karnataka's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has made public a list of the 43.81 lakh voters across the state who have been issued notices under the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, following widespread complaints that recipients were given little time to respond. However, the published list fails to include hearing dates, times, or venues, leaving voters uncertain about when and where they must appear — even as hearings have already begun. The process has drawn further criticism because voters cannot send a representative to their hearing, notices are reportedly not being delivered to homes, and some residents in Bengaluru have received notices despite having submitted all required details correctly.
