Bengaluru NavaNirmana Party's (BNP) Petition to Karnataka CM

Petition to The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Karnataka and The State Election Commissioner (SEC) To Fix Bengaluru’s Broken Voter Rolls Before Corporation Elections

We DEMAND "SECTIONING" of ELECTORAL ROLLS to ensure a FAIR ELECTIONS

The Issue: Your Vote And Lakhs of other, May Be in the Wrong Ward!

A data-backed analysis by BNP has uncovered a systemic mapping failure in the electoral rolls for the upcoming Corporation Elections. Thousands of citizens are being forced to vote for a Corporator in a ward where they don’t even live.

We have submitted our findings to the Chief Commissioner, South Corporation Commissioner, ADEO and DEO. But, we need people to support this cause for a policy level change!

Read the detailed report

Key Issues Identified:

  • Large-scale discrepancies where voters are mapped to the wrong wards
  • Voters from the same street, apartment, or layout are split across different polling booths
  • Multiple duplicate voter registration of the same voter but with different EPIC numbers
  • Evidence from 5 ward samples, shows 1000+ wrongly mapped voters
  • Preliminary patterns indicate the issue could affect over 1,000 voters per ward
  • This is not an isolated error but a systemic failure in electoral roll preparation
  • The rolls reflect poor administrative structuring, making verification difficult for BLOs and RWAs/apartments.

Why This Matters:

  • Voters wrongly mapped will be forced to vote for a corporator who doesn’t govern their ward
  • Election outcomes would be influenced by voters from outside the ward
  • This compromises the fairness, credibility, and integrity of elections

Our Demands:

  • Implement Sectioning across wards, as per the ECI Manual
  • Do not place the burden of correction on individual citizens.
  • Hold Corporation Elections only after rolls are corrected
  • Will this delay the municipal election?
  • Not at all, the process can be easily done if the complete voter address is available to the relevant officials.
  • If the address is available, this process will not take more than 30-45 days to complete using simple tech tools like excel.

Yours sincerely,

Sectioning: The Solution

  • One street / layout / apartment = One Section
  • Groups voters by their actual street, layout, or apartment instead of just areas
  • Ensures residents of the same area stay in the same booth.
  • This process will make verification by BLOs and citizens easier and efficient
  • It’s a permanent systemic fix, not a temporary bandaid like SIR.

Why Sign This Petition ?

  • Protect your right to vote in the correct ward
  • Ensure free, fair, and accurate elections in Bengaluru
  • Hold authorities accountable and fix the voter rolls before elections
