Andhra Pradesh Voter Deletions Trigger Debate After SIR
A TV program discussed changes to voter lists in Andhra Pradesh.
The changes followed a checking exercise called the Special Intensive Revision.
The program said that 44.89 lakh voter entries were involved.
Some entries were marked because people had permanently moved away.
Others were marked because the voters had died or had duplicate records.
People are concerned that some names may have been removed by mistake.
Voters can check their information in the draft list.
They can also contact a Booth Level Officer and submit documents if they need to correct the record.

The figures cited involve 44.89 lakh voters removed from the electoral roll.
Of these, 22.30 lakh were listed as permanently migrated, 15.22 lakh as deceased, and 7.37 lakh as duplicate entries.
