Voter Notices Rise Across Adilabad, Boath and Mancherial Urban Areas
Officials found many possible problems in voter lists in three Assembly constituencies.
Some records had mistakes in names, surnames or ages.
Other voters were marked absent, shifted, deceased or duplicated.
This led to notices being sent to many people.
Congress leaders said some genuine urban voters could be affected.
They linked some discrepancies to migration, deaths and surname changes after marriage.
Party workers called BLA-2s were asked to visit voters’ homes and check the notices.
Officials and party leaders said some small mistakes can be corrected by tahsildars.
The figures supplied for Boath contain an apparent inconsistency because the notices listed exceed the stated number of electors.
Notices were issued over name, surname and age errors, as well as absent, shifted, deceased or duplicate voter records.
Adilabad generated 85,525 notices among 2,50,393 electors; 6,146 were delivered and 79,379 remained undelivered.
Mancherial generated 68,195 notices among 2,83,299 electors, according to official sources.
Boath figures listed 64,900 notices among 21,639 electors, with 19,655 served and 45,245 yet to be served.
Congress activated BLA-2 workers to visit voters, verify notices and help genuine voters retain their names during the second SIR phase.

Revision And Verification Response
Impact of notices
Congress Concerns
Congress leaders warned that the large number of notices in urban areas could affect genuine voters, including people whose duplicate entries remained in rural areas while their town entries were rejected.
Revision And Verification Response
The notices were generated during the electoral-roll revision because records were identified as containing discrepancies or as absent, shifted, deceased or duplicate.
Reasons for discrepancies
Congress Concerns
Congress attributed the urban concentration partly to migration, deaths and women changing surnames after marriage, along with minor errors in names and ages.
Revision And Verification Response
Adilabad DCC president Naresh Jadhav said minor surname, name and age differences could be corrected at the tahsildar level after verification.
How voters should respond
