SIR: Notice list includes CM’s mother, Zerodha founders and Nilekani family
High-profile individuals in Bengaluru, including the Chief Minister's mother and the founders of Zerodha and Infosys, have been flagged in a Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls due to data discrepancies. Election officials have promised to assist these individuals and other voters in correcting their records.
Why it matters
The incident underscores the challenges of maintaining accurate voter databases in large urban centers and the importance of administrative transparency.
Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s mother, Gowramma, has figured in the notice list as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) flagging discrepancies. Gowramma has been flagged for a ‘self-name mismatch’ in the Kanakapura constituency.
The list also includes Zerodha‘s founder and co-founder Nithin Kamath and Nikhil Kamath, and the entire family of Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani.
The CEO’s office has said prominent persons and VIPs will not be inconvenienced and that officials themselves will visit them to complete the required process. The same procedure will be followed for elderly voters and persons with disabilities who may find it difficult to visit hearing centres.
Nikhil Kamath and Nithin Kamath have been flagged for ‘parents name mismatch’. Their mother Revathi Kamath has also been flagged for the same reason, all three in the Bengaluru South Assembly constituency.
