3.94 lakh 'Other' voters reclassified as 'Not Found' or 'Permanent Shift' in Bengaluru

In a special comprehensive revision of the state voter list, 3.94 lakh voters previously classified as 'Other' (refusal to sign for electoral roll) have been moved to 'Not Found' or 'Permanent Shift' categories. This change was observed in the Bommanahalli and Hennur constituencies in Bengaluru. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) expressed surprise, stating they were unaware of the change, as the final ASDD list published on August 18 contained the 'Other' classification. They noted that the 'Other' category is now missing from the available ASDD list.
