Hyderabad voters face growing confusion over SIR notices
Election officials are checking voter lists in Hyderabad through a process called SIR.
Some voters say they do not know whether they have received a notice.
They also say they have not received messages or calls from election workers.
When they ask Booth Level Officers, they are sometimes told to come back later.
The official website may also tell them to check again after a few days.
This leaves people unsure whether they need to do anything.
Some voters worry that differences in names or initials could lead to notices.
They want officials to clearly explain each voter’s status.
Voters in Hyderabad say they remain unsure whether SIR notices have been generated or require action.
Some residents report receiving neither messages nor phone calls from election authorities or Booth Level Officers.
BLOs allegedly ask voters to return after two or three days without providing clear status updates.
The Telangana Chief Electoral Officer website reportedly displays a message saying no notice has been generated and to check again later.
Voters are requesting clearer communication through the website, SMS, phone calls and door-to-door delivery.

A Hyderabad voter concerned about uncertainty over SIR notices
“In the earlier electoral list, my name was mentioned only with the initial ‘K’, whereas the present list carries my full name. Since there were reports that even Telangana CEO C Sudharsan Reddy received a notice because of a difference involving his initial ‘C’, I am sure that my family members and I may also receive notices.”

“When we visit the BLO to check the status, we are simply told to come back after two or three days. People are running around without knowing whether they have received a notice, or one has been generated, or any further action is required from them.”
