Local Rules & Revision Highlights

- Voters already listed in Karnataka's previous intensive revision roll do not need to resubmit physical documents unless verification shows discrepancy.
- Linkage of voter details to a parent's active registration serves as prime evidence for local residency verification.
- Booth Level Officers (BLOs) visited households to distribute pre-filled Enumeration Forms throughout July 2026.
- Any dropped voter can file a Form 6 for inclusion during the claims and objections window starting August 17, 2026.
Documents Accepted in Karnataka
Voters in Karnataka submitting Form 6 (to restore a dropped name or request new registration) can submit standard ECI proofs. If your name was already in the last intensive revision roll, no document is normally required. Linkage with a parent's existing voter record is highly encouraged to prove residency in local assembly segments.
