Andhra Pradesh CEO Issues Guidelines for Electoral Roll Revision
Election officials in Andhra Pradesh are getting ready to update the list of voters.
They want to make sure everyone who is old enough to vote can, and that the list is very accurate.
They will send election workers to visit homes to check names and add new voters.
They also need to remove people who have passed away or moved away.
There are special forms for people to apply if they are new voters, or if they need to correct information or be removed.
After a first check, a draft list will be shared, and people can then raise any concerns.
Training will be provided to election workers to ensure they do a good job.
Andhra Pradesh CEO Vivek Kumar Yadav has issued guidelines for the Pre-Revision and Special Intensive Revision (SIR-2025) of Electoral Rolls.
The revision process emphasizes transparency, accuracy, and ensuring an error-free voter list.
Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will conduct door-to-door verification and distribute necessary application forms.
All eligible citizens turning 18 must be enrolled, and errors like duplicate entries, deaths, and changes of residence must be rectified.
After a draft list is published, citizens can submit objections and applications to BLOs or EROs.
