Study Finds Significant Voter Deletions in Hyderabad's Electoral Rolls During Revision
A study by the Sabar Institute found that 19.4 lakh voters were deleted from Hyderabad's electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision, matching 89% of the 2023 Assembly election turnout. Women accounted for 47.8% of deletions, with the highest shares in six constituencies represented by the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). Muslims made up 40.7% of deletions, though the report could not confirm if they were disproportionately affected due to lack of religion-wise data. Most deletions were due to permanent shifting or untraceability.
