HYDERABAD: The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Hyderabad district has entered its final phase, with nearly 10 lakh electors identified under the Absent, Shifted, Death, Duplicate and Others (ASDDO) category, prompting the District Election Officer (DEO) to order reverification before the revision is finalised.
According to the SIR-2026 status report, as of 10 am on August 5, 9,95,315 electors — 21.01% of the district’s 47,36,669 voters — have been classified under the ASDDO category. So far, 27,26,655 Enumeration Forms (EFs), or 57.56%, have been digitised. A total of 4,91,236 electors submitted their EFs online, while 1,688 applications remain pending for verification.
