SIR: Anomalies and unmapped voters could land 30% forms for scrutiny in Telangana

During the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Telangana, approximately 30% of enumerated voters are flagged for further scrutiny due to being unmapped or having anomalies in their records. As of July 9, 2026, 66.66 lakh enumeration forms had been verified by Booth Level Officers (BLOs), with over 20 lakh electors identified as either unmapped or containing anomalies. Specifically, 18 lakh were categorized as anomalies, and 2 lakh were unmapped. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has outlined 11 specific anomalies, including inconsistencies in family relationships and age gaps. Unmapped voters reached a peak of over 22,000 in Ranga Reddy district, while anomalies were most prevalent in Nizamabad district with nearly 1.84 lakh cases. Medchal Malkajgiri recorded the highest percentage of unmapped voters at 27%, and Hyderabad had the highest anomaly rate at 57%. Electors flagged will receive notices from Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) between July 31 and September 28, requiring them to provide documentation to confirm their citizenship.
