After much agitation by civil society groups demanding that the ASDDO list be made public, Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) V. Anbu Kumar on Tuesday released a link for voters to check whether their names have been wrongly marked under the absent, shifted, duplicate, dead and others (ASDDO) category. The list can be accessed at: ceo.karnataka.gov.in/asddo.html

Voters who find their names marked as shifted, absent or others can contact their Booth Level Officer (BLO) and establish that they continue to reside at the same address. They will then be provided the enumeration form.

BLO details can be accessed online if one checks through the EPIC number. This will spare such voters from having to register as new voters, which was the initial process.

“Till the enumeration phase ends on August 8, voters who have been wrongly marked can check their names, contact the BLO to have them removed from the category, and obtain the enumeration form,” the CEO said.

In such cases, enumeration forms had not been distributed as the voters were marked as absent, shifted or duplicate.
