‘It’s a test of citizenship that is exclusionary by design’: Clifton D’Rozario | Decode Karnataka

Karnataka’s voter mapping exercise ahead of the State-wide Special Intensive Revision has triggered widespread concerns and debate.

So far, SIR has been carried out in 10 States and three UTs. Sixty crore of the nearly 99 crore voters have been covered in the clean-up exercises of these voters’ lists. The process underway in Karnataka is part of Phase III.

How has the progress of the preparatory voter mapping exercise in Karnataka been so far? What are the demands and contentions of citizen groups in the State? What is the Congress-led govt’s stance about SIR?
