Wanaparthy Voters Told How to Correct Draft Roll Errors
Some voters in Wanaparthy may not see their names in the draft voter list.
This does not always mean their names have been removed.
They can provide documents to fix mistakes or prove their identity.
People who did not receive an enumeration form can apply again using Form 6.
Some voters have differences in their names, birth dates, or addresses compared with the older list.
Other voters could not be matched by booth-level officers and must attend a hearing.
The required documents depend on the voter’s age and family records.
Officials will use this information before preparing the final voter list.
Electoral Roll Observer K Surendra Mohan said missing names in the draft voter list do not automatically mean deletion.
Eligible voters who did not receive an enumeration form can reapply using Form 6 with supporting documents.
A total of 74,462 voters were flagged for differences in names, birth dates, or addresses, while 12,027 were listed as unmapped.
Notices are being issued to 86,489 voters, with identity-document requirements varying by list status and date of birth.
Wanaparthy’s polling stations increased from 316 to 322, adding six stations.
