Hyderabad, Sept.1 : The Hyderabad voter deletion list has raised fresh questions after the draft figures showed a striking pattern across 15 Assembly constituencies.
The data compares votes polled in the 2023 Assembly election with names included in the draft deletion list. The figures cover the Greater Hyderabad region.
Across 15 constituencies, voters cast 21,72,111 votes in the 2023 Assembly election. Meanwhile, the draft list includes 19,41,444 names for possible deletion.
The figure equals about 89 percent of the votes polled in 2023. However, the draft list does not mean that all these voters will lose their names permanently.
The Election Commission process allows voters to raise claims and objections. Booth Level Officers are visiting households to verify voter details.
According to the data, Yakutpura and Malakpet show the most striking figures. In both constituencies, the draft deletion count exceeds the votes polled in the 2023 Assembly election.
Yakutpura recorded 1,39,990 votes in 2023. The draft list now includes 1,54,982 names. That represents nearly 44 percent of its June 2026 voter base of 3,74,948.
Malakpet recorded 1,31,354 votes in the 2023 Assembly election. Its draft deletion figure stands at 1,47,799 names.
Malakpet had 3,30,191 registered voters in June 2026. Therefore, the draft list covers nearly 45 percent of its current voter base.
Hyderabad Voter Deletion List Draws Political Scrutiny
The pattern also differs across other constituencies. Jubilee Hills recorded 1,82,962 votes in 2023, against 1,79,510 names in the draft list.
Chandrayangutta recorded 1,52,898 votes, while its draft deletion figure stands at 1,48,869. Musheerabad recorded 1,52,550 votes, compared with 1,40,070 names in the draft list.
Similarly, Amberpet has 1,20,303 names in the draft list against 1,45,470 votes polled in 2023. Khairatabad has 1,23,472 names against 1,54,146 votes.
Sanathnagar recorded 1,29,387 votes, while the draft list includes 1,14,131 names. Nampally recorded 1,51,595 votes against 1,37,126 names.
Karwan has 1,41,766 names in the draft list against 1,75,107 votes. Goshamahal has 1,10,148 names against 1,49,857 votes.
The remaining constituencies also show varying gaps. Charminar has 94,174 names against 97,830 votes. Bahadurpura has 1,21,350 names against 1,44,094 votes.
Secunderabad has 1,02,710 names against 1,41,105 votes. Kukatpally has 1,05,034 names against 1,33,766 votes.
The deletion exercise can include voters who have died, shifted residence, remained absent or become untraceable. However, the current draft figures cannot alone establish that every listed voter qualifies for deletion.
BLOs are conducting house to house verification and accepting objections and claims. They are also issuing notices where required.
Therefore, the final electoral roll may differ from the current draft. Political leaders have nevertheless called for close scrutiny of the figures in Malakpet and Yakutpura.
The unusually high draft figures in these two constituencies have now become a major point of political discussion in Hyderabad. The final list will show how many names ultimately remain after the verification process. (Maxim News)
