Raj directed sharp criticism toward the government's decision to grant judicial immunity to Election Commission members, comparing the move to protections typically reserved for the judiciary. He argued that the rapid implementation of the revision—carried out between June 30 and August 17—places an undue burden on citizens who must now navigate complex re-enrollment procedures. The actor specifically questioned the mass flagging of voters as absent or shifted, insisting that individuals deserve a fair opportunity to verify their status rather than being forced to file new applications.
The Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer reported that the new draft roll contains over 4.46 crore electors. However, the verification process identified roughly 1.07 crore entries under the ASDDO categories—Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate, and Others. Additionally, over 43.8 lakh voters have been flagged for anomalies or mapping issues, necessitating official notices to confirm their eligibility. With the final electoral roll scheduled for publication on October 27, 2026, the current window for filing claims and objections remains open until September 23.
