Telangana CEO Orders Time-Bound Action on Electoral Notices
Election officials in Telangana are checking voter lists for mistakes.
Some voters’ records have problems called anomalies or no-mapping cases.
The state’s top election officer told local officials to make a schedule for fixing these problems.
Officials must send notices to affected voters and explain what the notices mean.
Voters may need to attend hearings or provide documents.
Booth-level workers will help contact voters and follow up with them.
Officials will also check people who submitted forms but are missing from the draft voter list.
The goal is to include every eligible voter and keep ineligible names out.
Telangana Chief Electoral Officer C Sudarshan Reddy ordered DEOs and EROs to create time-bound action plans for electoral-roll anomalies and no-mapping cases.
Officials reviewed the ongoing Special Intensive Revision 2026 during a video conference involving district election authorities and GHMC officials.
The review covered serving notices, conducting hearings, verifying documents, and disposing of claims and objections.
BLOs and supervisors were instructed to explain notices, follow up with electors, and monitor field-level work.
Officials were told to verify ASDD cases and missing names from the Draft Electoral Roll while ensuring eligible voters are included and ineligible people are excluded.
