Election Commission admits flaws in voter list revision process

The Election Commission stated that multiple flaws were found during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of the voter list in Bengaluru. These flaws include multiple Voter IDs being created for a single individual and a single voter's name appearing in two different assembly constituencies. The Chief Electoral Officer's office confirmed these lapses, noting that some applicants submitted Form 6 more than once via the Citizen Services Portal, leading to multiple EPIC numbers for one person. Additionally, some names appeared in two constituencies because Form 8 applications were approved, but Form 7 applications to remove the name from the old constituency list were pending.
