Key highlights
Direct fact
In July 2026, Telangana’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls required voters to use enumeration forms with 2002 voter details, while the Chief Electoral Officer C. Sudharshan Reddy said anomalies in the State could cross one crore.
Key specifics
- The enumeration form has 3 stages, including pre-filled voter details such as address, name, photo, BLO name and BLO contact number.
- Voters who were on the roll in 2002 must fill the first box with 2002 information; if not, parents’ 2002 voter details go in the second box.
- If 2002 details are unavailable, the voter may leave both boxes blank, sign the form, and respond later with any of the 11 identity documents.
- For fresh inclusion, Form 6 requires a declaration and any one of the 12 listed documents, according to the CEO.
- For address change, Form 8 can be filed in August 2026; the voter may then appear in the final roll, not the draft roll.
