Hyderabad electoral roll revision process

Overview

The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Hyderabad has faced challenges regarding digitisation progress. As of early August 2026, the district reported a digitisation rate of approximately 58.4%, the lowest among the 33 districts in Telangana. Officials noted that nearly 40% of the 47.36 lakh electors were identified as Absent, Shifted, or Dead (ASD), with slow progress attributed in part to migration patterns.

By late August, election officials, including GHMC Commissioner and District Election Officer RV Karnan, began overseeing the distribution of SIR notices in the Nampally Assembly constituency. Efforts focused on instructing Booth-Level Officers to assist voters with the verification process and ensuring that eligible citizens could submit necessary documentation within prescribed timelines.
