Speaking at a press conference in Hosapete on Wednesday, Manikere noted that 14,210 new voters were added to the list after the draft was published. Notices were issued to 30,622 voters between August 24 and September 23, of whom 30,494 submitted appropriate documents and were included in the final list. Among those notified, 26 were found to be deceased, 43 had permanently shifted to other locations, 50 were already registered elsewhere, and 9 failed to respond to inquiries, resulting in no response from a total of 128 individuals.
The District Collector clarified that only three objections were filed regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), all of which have been resolved.
