Telangana SIR 2026 | List of electors not included in draft rolls published

The Chief Electoral Officer of Telangana has published a list of electors in the state whose names were not included in the draft roll for Special Intensive Revision 2026 (SIR-2026). This "Absent/Shifted/Dead and Duplicate (ASDD) Electors list" is available on the Chief Electoral Officer's website. To access the list, users must select their district, Assembly constituency, part number, and part name.

The list includes details such as the voter's name, EPIC number, relative's name and relation, part number, and the reason for not collecting the Enumeration Form. Reasons for non-inclusion in the list range from "permanently shifted residence" to "dead" and "missing/absent". The ASDD list was only published in Telugu on the Chief Electoral Officer's website, which may pose difficulties for those who cannot read the script.

The Chief Electoral Officer has informed that voters who were not included in the draft roll can apply afresh by filling Form 6, along with the prescribed declaration form. The draft electoral roll, after the enumeration phase of SIR-2026, was published on August 17, 2026. As of August 10, 2026, the state had a total of 3,38,26,448 electors, out of which 73,39,235 were in the ASDD category.

This category comprises 9,22,229 deceased voters, 11,25,546 untraceable or absent voters, 45,18,963 permanently shifted voters, 6,70,203 already enrolled voters, and 1,02,294 in the "others" category. The claims and objections period for SIR-2026 is from August 17 to September 16.
