Surname in place of initial may get you notice from ERO, though name mismatch is not listed as an anomaly
CEO C. Sudharshan Reddy confirmed during the media briefing, that the difference between a full name along with surname and a name with only initial too will be considered an anomaly
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral Rolls in Telangana will issue notices to nearly 93 lakh voters, requiring them to explain discrepancies in their names. Chief Electoral Officer C. Sudharshan Reddy confirmed that any mismatch between a full name and a surname, or a name with only an initial, will be considered an anomaly and result in a notice being sent.
Despite this, the officially listed anomalies do not include name mismatch as one of the 11 red flags. The anomalies already listed by the CEO’s office include a less than 9-month gap between progeny, less than 15 years between a parent and progeny, greater than 50-year age gap between progeny and parent, and a less than 40-year age gap between an elector and a grandparent.
Other listed anomalies include different parent names between the current e-roll and the last SIR, and mapping with different relative types between the two rolls.
