The Election Commission of India has extended Karnataka's enumeration phase deadline again, with draft voter rolls scheduled for release on August 24.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that the deadline for the enumeration phase in Karnataka has been extended for a second time. The new deadline allows additional time for the completion of voter registration and verification processes across the state.
Enumeration, the process of compiling and verifying voter lists, is a critical step in ensuring that all eligible voters are accurately recorded. The extension reflects the Commission’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the electoral rolls.
Draft voter rolls for Karnataka are now slated to be published on August 24. The release of the draft will enable candidates, parties, and voters to review and, if necessary, raise objections before the final rolls are finalized.
Once the draft rolls are published, the next phase will involve a public objection period, after which the final voter lists will be issued ahead of the upcoming elections.
