AP CEO Releases District-Wise List of 44.89 Lakh Electors for Deletion
Before elections, the government checks the list of people who are allowed to vote.
This list is called the electoral roll.
In Andhra Pradesh, the Chief Electoral Officer's office is carefully checking this list through a special review called the Special Intensive Revision.
They found that about 44.89 lakh names may need to be removed from the list.
Some people may have passed away, some may have moved to a different place, and some names may be written twice by mistake.
The office shared a list showing how many names are proposed for removal in each district.
The highest numbers are in Nellore and Tirupati districts.
The office also sent notices to many voters so they can check whether their names are correct.
They also found mistakes in the details of about 36 lakh voters, like wrong names or ages.
This work helps make sure only the right people can vote.
The Chief Electoral Officer's office released a district-wise list of 44.89 lakh electors proposed for deletion from the draft electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh.
The proposed deletions are due to death, permanent shifting, or duplication, as part of the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
Of the state's 4.16 crore electors, 3.71 crore have submitted their Enumeration Forms, according to election authorities.
Nellore (2.90 lakh) and Tirupati (2.87 lakh) recorded the highest proposed deletions, while Polavaram had the lowest at 38,927.
Notices have been generated for 43.66 lakh of the 44.21 lakh electors targeted, and logical errors or discrepancies were found for around 36 lakh electors.
The logical errors include nine types of mismatches, such as name mismatches and age mismatches involving siblings and grandparents.
