Notes

  • Telangana is undergoing a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
  • Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have verified 66.66 lakh enumeration forms to date.
  • Approximately 30% of verified electors (over 20 lakh) are flagged as unmapped or containing anomalies.
  • Unmapped voters are defined as those whose names or relatives' names could not be matched with the 2002 SIR records.
  • Identified anomalies include: less than nine months gap between progeny, less than 15 years age gap between parent and progeny, and discrepancies in parent names compared to previous records.
  • Proposals have been made to the Election Commission to integrate Aadhaar-enabled verification and artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of electoral rolls and identify duplicate registrations.
