1,07,96,415 crore, that is the number of voters facing possible exclusion from the Karnataka’s electoral rolls after being categorised as Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate and Others (ASDDO), following the conclusion of enumeration phase on August 17. At close to1.08 crore, that is close to one-fifth of the State’s electorate.

With the draft electoral roll scheduled to be published on August 24, the main concerns remain voter exclusion, the accuracy and transparency of the ASDDO classification.
