Telangana CEO Orders Verification of ASDD and Missing Voter Cases
Telangana election officials are checking voter records for mistakes.
They will review the ASDD list and cases where people submitted forms but their names were missing from the draft voter list.
Officials must make plans to fix these issues quickly.
They will send notices to affected voters and explain what the notices mean.
Some voters may need to attend hearings or provide documents.
Booth-level officers will help people understand and respond to the notices.
Officials will also handle requests to add, remove, or change voter details.
The goal is to include every eligible voter and exclude people who are not eligible.
Chief Election Officer C. Sudarshan Reddy directed officials to verify the ASDD list and missing-voter cases.
District Election Officers and Electoral Registration Officers must create time-bound plans for anomalies and “No Mapping” cases.
Officials were told to monitor notices, conduct hearings, verify documents, and resolve claims and objections promptly.
Booth-level officers must deliver notices, explain required actions, and support field-level follow-up with supervisors.
The CEO stressed that no eligible elector should be excluded and no ineligible person included.
