- Andhra Pradesh Vote Parirakshana Vedika has asked the State Chief Electoral Officer to extend the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls till the end of September.
- The group said the ongoing revision had led to 44.89 lakh voters being deleted from the draft electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh.
- Notices were reportedly issued to another 44,21,763 persons, most for minor technical discrepancies in names, age or other details.
- Voters living far from home for work or education were finding it hard to appear in person for verification, according to the group.
- The outcome of the revision matters because it could determine whether lakhs of people, including migrants, retain their right to vote.
What to watch next
- Whether the Chief Electoral Officer agrees to extend the SIR till end-September
- Whether lists of deleted voters and notice recipients are made public and shared with political parties
- Whether verification rules are relaxed to accept additional government-approved documents and drop in-person appearance
