As the SIR process is underway in Karnataka, lakhs of voters are receiving notices, asking them to prove logical discrepancies and other errors.

For the SIR hearings, voters are being asked to appear in person with documents for verification.

At a hearing centre in Hebbal, voters spoke about receiving notices at short notice, confusion over which documents were required, long waiting times and being called for verification despite having already submitted documents during the enumeration process.
