The Karnataka State Election Commission will begin issuing notices to about 4.38 million registered voters on August 24, ahead of upcoming local elections.
The Karnataka State Election Commission (SIC) announced that it will start dispatching formal notices to roughly 4.38 million voters on August 24. The notices are part of the preparatory steps for the state's upcoming local body elections, ensuring that eligible electors are informed of polling dates, booth locations and required documentation.
According to the commission's schedule, the notices will be mailed and, where possible, delivered electronically to reach voters across urban and rural districts. Officials said the outreach aims to boost voter awareness and participation, especially in areas that have shown low turnout in previous polls.
The move follows a series of administrative measures taken by the SIC to streamline the electoral process, including updating voter rolls and training polling staff. The commission has urged citizens to verify their details on the official portal and to report any discrepancies before the election date.
