Hyderabad, Oct. 30: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has extended the deadline for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Telangana to November 26. The final electoral rolls will now be published on November 30, according to the revised schedule announced on Thursday.
The extension follows a request from Telangana Chief Electoral Officer C. Sudharsan Reddy. Earlier, the notice phase and disposal of claims and objections were scheduled to conclude on November 5, with the final voter list due on November 9.
Telangana SIR Deadline Extended for Claims and Objections
Under the revised schedule, the notice phase and disposal of claims and objections will continue until November 26. The final electoral rolls will be published four days later, on November 30.
Before the SIR exercise began, Telangana had 3,38,26,448 registered voters. Of these, 2,64,87,213 submitted their enumeration forms.
The remaining 73,39,235 electors were categorised under Absent, Shifted, Death and Duplicate (ASDD) entries and were removed from the draft electoral rolls.

Over 2.59 Crore Voters Cleared for Final List
As many as 2,59,22,684 voter names had been cleared for inclusion in the final electoral rolls as of Thursday.

The authorities also identified 50,690 electors as ineligible for inclusion in the final electoral rolls.
