92 lakh electors are set to receive notices from the Election Commission of India

(ECI) during the next stage of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR).

The notices will cover 60.5 lakh electors identified with anomalies and another 32.36 lakh electors who could not be mapped to the 2002 electoral rolls.

The maximum number of notices is likely to be issued in Hyderabad district, officials said.

The anomalies identified during the revision include an age gap of less than 15 years between a voter and a parent, an age gap of more than 50 years between a voter and a parent, an age gap of less than 40 years with grandparents, six or more voters mapped to a single person in the previous SIR list and a gap of less than nine months between siblings, among other categories.

Electors receiving notices over anomalies will have to establish their relationship with the person whose details were used for mapping to the 2002 SIR list and submit the prescribed documents.

Those identified as unmapped will also receive notices through Booth Level Officers (BLOs).

The claims and objections period will continue until September 16, 2026. Genuine electors whose names do not figure in the draft rolls can seek inclusion, while electors can also seek correction of details or file objections to wrongful inclusion.

The disposal of claims and objections, including completion of the prescribed notice process, will be taken up from August 17 to October 15. The final electoral rolls are scheduled to be published on October 19.
