Hyderabad BLOs Intensify Voter Document Collection Before SIR Deadline
Hyderabad is checking voter records through a process called the Special Intensive Revision.
Some voters have been asked to provide documents because their records need checking.
Booth Level Officers are visiting homes and calling people to help them submit the papers, including digitally.
They are working extra hours because the deadline to file claims and objections is October 7.
Officials say more than 80% of hearings were completed by October 5.
The claims and objections must be cleared by November 5.
The final voter list is planned for November 11.
Officials have asked voters who received notices to respond with the required documents.
With two days remaining before the October 7 deadline, Hyderabad Booth Level Officers are stepping up efforts to collect voter documents for the Special Intensive Revision.

As of October 5, more than 80% of hearings were completed, and over nine lakh electors were found eligible for final publication.
