Karnataka's final electoral roll after the Special Intensive Revision lists 4,55,00,011 voters, down from 5,54,32,314.
The biggest group of deletions, 80.62 lakh, was voters who had shifted or were not found at their address.
The CEO's office says an enrolment drive will follow to add back genuine voters who were removed.
