Chandrayangutta

Questions are being raised about the accuracy of voter lists in Hyderabad. Over 1.52 lakh voters were confirmed during a pre-election exercise. These voters are now listed as dead, shifted, or untraceable under the ASDD list.

Concerns over voter verification

This change happened across four constituencies: Chandrayangutta, Bahadurpura, Yakutpura, and Charminar. The sudden shift has people worried about how the verification process works.

Civil society groups have contacted the Chief Election Commissioner. They want more clarity. These groups are asking for daily updates and online access to status reports. They want to make sure no real voter is removed by mistake. It is unclear how so many verified people lost their voting status without a clear reason.

Election Commission data shows about 19.41 lakh voters were removed from the draft electoral roll in Hyderabad. About 40 percent of these people are Muslim, which changes the makeup of the voter list. The Election Commission says these names were removed because the voters are absent, have moved, passed away, or were listed twice.

Check your status if your name is missing. Voters in India should fill out Form 6 to get back on the list. People living abroad must use Form 6A. You have until September 16 to submit claims and objections. The final roll comes out on October 19.

Verification of Voter Status

The number of deletions in Hyderabad is high. The list dropped by 41 percent from the starting count, which is the highest rate for any district in Telangana. Check your status on the official portal to make sure you can vote in coming elections. This applies to people in areas like Charminar, Yakutpura, and Chandrayangutta.

Recent data from the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Hyderabad shows that women account for 47.8% of the 19,41,444 names removed from voter rolls. A study by SABAR Institute points out that five constituencies in the Old City area had the highest share of female deletions.

Bahadurpura, Chandrayangutta, Karwan, Yakutpura, and Malakpet saw many women removed from the voter list. Researchers noted that in some areas, the number of deleted names was higher than the total votes cast in earlier elections. The study used name-based methods to group these deletions. Researchers noted there is no proof of any intentional targeting of a specific community.

Reasons for voter list changes

The report says permanent moving is the main reason for these deletions. Eligible people should check their status on official electoral rolls. This will make sure their names are included for upcoming elections.

Many enumeration forms are still uncollected in Hyderabad as the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls ends today. Officials say that 39 percent of the city's voters still have forms to process. This is a problem for the current exercise.

Old City areas have the most pending forms. Chandrayangutta and Malakpet have the most uncollected data. Bahadurpura is doing a bit better. Greater Hyderabad makes up a large portion of these pending records across Telangana.

Submit forms today

Today is the final day to submit enumeration forms to your local Booth Level Officer or through the official online portal. Because digital entry rates in Hyderabad are lower than the state average, people should act now to make sure their details are correct.

More than 44 lakh voters in Telangana are listed as ASDD. This stands for Absent, Shifted, Dead, or Duplicate. This number will likely pass 50 lakh by August 3. Many residents worry that officials are moving too fast. Some people already found their names missing from the list before the deadline for submitting forms.

Concerns about voter list accuracy

Reports show that booth-level officers feel pressure to reach digital targets. This has led to claims of poor practice, such as filing blank forms to show higher completion numbers. Local leaders and political parties are worried that eligible voters might be removed by mistake. If you live in areas like Chandrayangutta, Karimnagar, or Bahadurpura, please check your status with your local office. This will help make sure your name stays on the voters list.

Voters in Hyderabad have 6 days left for Special Intensive Revision 2026. So far, the district has finished 53 percent of the required digitisation. Booth Level Officers are now contacting residents to speed up this work.

Official data points out that over 22 lakh forms are still pending. Areas like Bahadurpura, Karwan, and Chandrayangutta show different levels of progress. Malakpet currently has the lowest completion rate.

Submit forms to finish registration

District Election Officer RV Karnan asks residents to submit forms right away to avoid problems near the deadline. Help desks are open at all 15 Assistant Electoral Registration Officer offices and the District Election Office at Tank Bund to provide support.

Do not wait until the last day. If you have not sent in your form, contact your local Booth Level Officer today. This will make sure your name is on the voter list.
