Notices Served to Thousands of Voters in Kodagu

Madikeri, July 28: The digitization of voter information in Kodagu district under the Special Comprehensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in the state ended at 6 pm on the 25th and is 82 percent complete.

But no one seems to be aware of the logical discrepancy in the BLO app during the SIR process.

After the SIR process in West Bengal, the Election Commission is now moving to implement logical discrepancy in Karnataka as well. There is a huge level of opposition to this across the state. If the mapping information given by the voters in the enumeration form is incorrect, such voters will be given a notice after the draft list is published. In this case, voters need to submit the necessary documents and work to save their vote. In West Bengal, 27 lakh voters have lost their right to vote under logical indiscretion.

Most BLOs are not aware of whether their app has information about this. On the other hand, even the booth agents of national parties are not aware of logical indiscretion. National parties are only creating awareness about the enumeration form.

But it seems that the booth-level agents are not even aware of how to teach voters how to avoid logical indiscretion while uploading the enumeration form.

Are more than 25 thousand voters in the district afraid of notice?

Voters who have not been mapped in the SIR process and who have not provided details of the 2002 voter list will definitely get a notice. But even if they are mapped, there is a possibility of getting a notice under this as well.

In a booth with 913 voters in Madikeri assembly constituency, the enumeration forms of 709 voters have been digitized till Saturday evening, out of which 95 voters have been identified as logically ineligible. In a booth with 886 voters in Madikeri constituency, the information of 655 voters has been digitized so far, out of which 120 voters have been identified as logically ineligible. In another booth, 65 voters have been found to be under logically ineligible.

In a booth with 1,200 voters in Virajpet assembly constituency, over 300 voters have been identified under logically ineligible.

In a booth with 1,200 voters, over 300 voters have been identified as logically ineligible. In another booth, 46 voters were identified under logical discrepancy. In another booth, 75 voters were identified under logical discrepancy.

In the two constituencies of the district, more than 25 thousand voters, 40 to 50 in each booth, are likely to receive notices due to logical discrepancy.

The 2002 voter list did not have initials in the name. Some voters whose initials were included in the 2025 voter list have been identified as logical discrepancy. The opportunity to fill the enumeration form is open until August 8, and voters are required to check with the booth-level officer in their area whether their information has been uploaded correctly, or whether their name has been identified in the logical discrepancy.

What is logical discrepancy?

After receiving the voter enumeration form, the BLOs upload it in the app and show the logical discrepancy details. If there is a gap of less than 15 years between the father and mother and the son or daughter, it is being identified as logical discrepancy. When mapping a voter with his grandfather or grandmother, there should be a gap of at least 40 years. If there is a gap of less than 9 months, such voters are identified separately as logical discrepancy.

Even if there is a gap of less than 9 months between brother and sister, it is identified as logical discrepancy. While mapping progeny mapping (with father-mother, or grandparents), the BLO app is identifying a logical discrepancy if the person with whom we are mapping is mapped with more than six voters. If the gender is entered incorrectly, if the name of the 2002 voter list and the 2025 polling station name do not match, voters are separated in the BLO app as logical discrepancies due to minor reasons such as age etc.

While filling the BLO enumeration form, the details of voters with logical discrepancies are shown as ‘GIIEW ನೋಓಎಓಐಿರ’. At this point, the problem can be identified and corrected. But it is ironic that most BLOs do not even know that there is a logical discrepancy in their app.

Notice if there is a discrepancy in the details?

The name of the voter is present in both the 2025 and 2002 voter lists, and if there is a difference in the details, a notice is issued. In this case, it is necessary to present the necessary documents mentioned by the Election Commission before the ERO (Electoral Registration Officer) and retain their vote. Is it enough to give the documents to the BLOs after receiving the notice? Or will the ERO conduct the hearing directly? The question is still unanswered. If a notice is given to the voters of the district who are currently working abroad under logical disqualification, do they have to appear in person and submit the documents..? The State Election Commission has not given any information about this.

Difference in name: If it is Mammad in 2002 and Mohammed in 2025, then the difference in date of birth: If there is a difference in the date of birth of the 2025 and 2002 list, then the age gap: The voter and his father/mother
