Deadline extended for final SIR rolls, filing claims in 6 states

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has granted a three-week extension to the deadline for the Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls in Telangana, now set for November 30, 2026. The ECI announced the revised date in a late evening statement on Thursday, changing the publication date of the final rolls from November 9 to November 30.

The phase for receiving notices and addressing claims and objections will also be extended, from November 5 to November 26. This change in schedule was prompted by a request from the Chief Electoral Officer of Telangana, C. Sudharsan Reddy, who communicated his concerns to the ECI on October 29. All comments must be in English, written as full sentences, and cannot be offensive or personal.
