Karwan

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi wants more time for voters to fix issues with electoral rolls in Telangana. He says the 21-day extension from the Election Commission is not enough. It is very important that every eligible voter has a fair chance to check their status.

Election list concerns

Owaisi shared concerns while visiting Karwan. He noted that many people are incorrectly marked as deceased in the records. He also mentioned that individuals with six or more children are receiving notices, which he finds disappointing. If you received a notice, contact local party workers or a help desk for support. You can check your status and make sure your name is on the final list.

People are worried about the current Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls. BJP has asked the Election Commission to push back the deadline for submitting claims by three weeks. They want the date moved from September 16 to October 7.

Concerns regarding voter list accuracy

Party leaders say over 45 lakh voters are wrongly marked as shifted, dead, or duplicate. These mistakes could remove many real residents from the voter list. The party specifically pointed out problems in the Karwan constituency and across GHMC areas. Many voters are confused about how their records are being mapped.

Only a few of the generated notices have actually reached voters. The party says more time is very important to make sure citizens do not lose their right to vote.

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.

Special Intensive Revision 2026 exercise in Telangana reached an important stage. Hyderabad recorded 58.58% digitization, with over 18.74 lakh voters currently marked in the Absent, Shifted, or Dead category. If a name appears in this list, stay calm. An ASD tag does not mean a name is removed from the voter list permanently.

Draft voter list publication is scheduled for August 17, 2026. Residents should check their details once the list is live. If errors are found or a name is missing, claims or objections can be filed between August 17 and September 16, 2026.

Important dates for Hyderabad voters

• August 17, 2026: Draft voter list publication.
• September 16, 2026: Last date for claims and objections.
• October 19, 2026: Final voter list publication.

Registration can be managed, status checked, or forms 6, 7, and 8 filed through the official Election Commission voter services portal. Make sure details are accurate to avoid problems during future elections.

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.

Election officials in Telangana have changed the schedule for the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists. The draft voter lists will now be released on August 10 instead of July 31. Home visits by Booth Level Officers to verify details will continue until August 3.

Important update for voters

Over 25 lakh forms have been moved online across the state. Officials are working to finish this work quickly. You should check your current voter status. Final voter lists are now set to be published on October 12. Political parties have been asked to name extra Booth Level Agents to assist with this work. Help desks are open in all 15 Assembly constituencies to answer your questions, including those for Karwan, Chandrayangutta, and Malakpet.
