The district administration in Nandyal is preparing to address claims and objections regarding the draft voter list published on July 31. The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) began with 14,05,443 registered voters, of whom 87.23% were identified as genuine. The remaining voters were categorized into five groups: absent, permanently shifted, deceased, duplicate entries, and those not interested in registration.
Officials anticipate objections from voters in these categories and have instructed their staff to examine all objections, issue notices, and conduct inquiries. Of the genuine voters, 74,073 had logical discrepancies and 6,067 faced mapping issues. Notices will be sent to 80,140 voters, with inquiries to follow. As of now, 5,182 claims have been filed for Nandyal, 3,051 for Banaganapalle, and 3,105 for Dhone, with more claims expected.
The final electoral roll is due on October 3, so all work related to notices, claims, objections, and discrepancies should be completed by September 10. The Collector emphasized the importance of adhering to the rules while issuing notices and stressed that each notice must specify a hearing date at least seven days after it is served.
