Officials have found 54,418 electors ineligible. Another 1.3 lakh cases are awaiting verification and disposal.
Election officials are expected to process the pending cases before publishing the final electoral rolls.
“The final size of Telangana’s electorate would depend on the disposal of pending cases, fresh applications received through Form 6 and the eventual publication of the final electoral rolls,” Sudharshan Reddy said.
Telangana SIR | Nearly 2.6 Crore Electors Cleared for Final Roll
Of the 92.8 lakh notices issued across Telangana, officials generated 60.5 lakh over logical discrepancies. Another 32.3 lakh notices covered electors under the no-mapping category.
The latest report shows that officials cleared 59.7 lakh logical discrepancy cases. They also cleared 31 lakh no-mapping cases for final publication.
Together, these categories account for around 91 lakh cases. Another 1.7 crore electors fall outside the verification pool.
Officials placed these voters in the ‘others’ category after separating notice cases from the draft electoral roll. The report also cleared them directly for final publication.
Together, the ‘others’, logical discrepancy and no-mapping categories account for nearly 2.6 crore electors. This represents around 98.7% of the post-ASDD draft electorate.
Telangana had 3.38 crore electors before the SIR exercise. However, 73.3 lakh voters were excluded under the absent, shifted, dead and duplicate (ASDD) categories.
Consequently, the draft electorate fell to 2.65 crore.

Hanumakonda Collector and District Election Officer Chahat Bajpai also urged voters to check the draft rolls. She asked those who could not find their names to submit Form 6 without fear.
Citing an ECI clarification issued on November 3, she said previously enrolled voters could apply for re-enrolment.

She also clarified that filing Form 6 would not automatically trigger legal proceedings. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements and must not have registered elsewhere.
The final electorate will depend on pending case disposal and fresh Form 6 applications. The Election Commission will determine the final voter count after publishing the revised electoral rolls.
