Authorities Address Delays and Allegations in Andhra Pradesh Voter Roll Revision
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh faces delays due to incessant rains, the Kharif season, and limited awareness, with only 52% of enumeration forms digitised in Vizianagaram district. Officials, including the Chief Electoral Officer, have urged timely completion, directing full distribution of forms by July 7 and enhanced support for Booth Level Officers. Political parties, notably YSRCP, allege irregularities such as exclusion of minorities and call for increased publicity and vigilance during the process.
