Karnataka Voters Report 'Logical Discrepancies' During Special Intensive Electoral Roll Revision

Voters in Karnataka are encountering "logical discrepancies" notifications when submitting online enumeration forms during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. These pop-up messages, appearing after form submission, indicate anomalies detected in their data, such as being linked as son/daughter to someone claimed by multiple others as father. This development suggests that logical discrepancy checks are being applied at the enumeration stage, a point not previously clarified by the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) V. Anbu Kumar, who had stated clarity would come only after the draft electoral rolls were published.
