The Election Commission says about 92 lakh electors will be sent notices as part of the revision cycle. Chief Electoral Officer C Sudarshan Reddy provided these figures at a press conference. The CE0 noted that 78.30% of enumeration forms have been collected from a total of 3.38 crore voters. Among the draft rolls, roughly 60 lakh electors were identified with anomalies, and about 32 lakh electors could not be linked to the 2002 base roll (unmapped). Within the general categories of the existing rolls, 9,22,229 electors were recorded as deceased (2.73%), 57,46,803 electors were found to have shifted permanently or were absent (16.99%), and 6,70,203 electors were enrolled in multiple places (1.98%). Booth-level officers cited reasons for missing enumeration forms, including electors becoming residents of other states or union territories, not found in existence, or not submitting forms by August 10. Officials announced that the lists of absent/shifted/dead/duplicate electors not included in the draft rolls were displayed at ERO/Assistant ERO notice boards and also on the CEO and District Electoral Officers’ websites. ## Why It Matters The revision affects who is eligible to vote and could influence electoral rolls for the upcoming claims and objections phase. The process allows electors to file Form 6 for enumeration, Form 6A for overseas additions, Form 7 for objections or deletions, and Form 8 for corrections or shifts. The observed deletions and unmapped electors indicate ongoing efforts to align rolls with citizenship and residency status across Telangana’s districts. ## Background The SIR is a targeted revision mechanism used to clean up electoral rolls. The process involved 33 districts, with deployment of 119 electoral registration officers, 892 assistant electoral registration officers, 3,590 BLO supervisors, and 35,985 BLOs at 35,985 polling stations. Political party representatives contributed 49,018 booth-level agents to the process. ## Key Facts - Deleted voters in the SIR draft rolls: 73.39 lakh - Voters to receive notices: 92 lakh - Total voters in the rolls: 3.38 crore - Enumeration forms collected: 78.30% of 3.38 crore - Deceased electors: 9,22,229 (2.73%) - Shifted/absent electors: 57,46,803 (16.99%) - Electors enrolled in multiple places: 6,70,203 (1.98%) - Unmapped electors (not linked to 2002 base roll): 32 lakh - Other details: 60 lakh with anomalies in rolls - Filing window for claims/objections: August 17 to September 16 - Disposition window for claims/objections: August 17 to October 15 - Forms in use: 6 (new enumeration), 6A (overseas), 7 (objections/deletions), 8 (shifts/corrections) - Districts: 33 - Staff deployed: 119 ROs, 892 AEROs, 3,590 BLO supervisors, 35,985 BLOs - Booth-level agents: 49,018 ## What Happens Next Electors who did not submit enumeration forms may file Form 6 for inclusion during the claims and objections period.
