SIR voter enumeration deadline fixed for August 10, no extension
There is a big list of people who are allowed to vote, called the voter list.
The government is checking and updating this list in a place called Ranga Reddy district.
People who are eligible to vote must fill out a special form so their names can be added to the list.
The last day to hand in that form is August 10.
The district leader, called the Collector, said there will be no more extra time after that date.
He wants everyone to fill the form carefully and double-check it before submitting.
If there are mistakes, voters should talk to a local election officer to get them fixed.
The Election Commission wants the voter list to be correct and fair.
Some people are finding it hard to get the papers they need to fill the form.
Others, like one man from Rajendranagar, say their names have disappeared from an old voter list from 2002, even though they had filled a form back then.
So voters are being told to hurry up and submit their forms before the deadline.
Ranga Reddy District Collector C Narayan Reddy said there will be no further extension of the SIR enumeration form submission deadline, which remains August 10.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has rolled out a comprehensive revision programme to make the voter list more transparent, accurate and error-free.
All eligible voters have been urged to submit their enumeration forms immediately to concerned Booth Level Officers (BLOs).
The collector advised voters to check forms thoroughly before submission and to contact the ERO, AERO or BLO for corrections before the deadline.
Many residents face difficulties securing credentials for forms, including a Rajendranagar voter who could not find his name in the 2002 voter list despite holding an acknowledgement form.

“"I used to live in the Red Hills area in 2002 and even filled the enumeration form at that time but shifted to a neighbouring constituency. I even have the acknowledgement form with me that shows my name in the addition column along with the signature of the concerned enumerator in the footer. Now, I am unable to find the name in the 2002 list. I am trying to find the concerned ward and the enumerator who signed the form but to no avail."”
