HYDERABAD: Chief electoral officer Rajat Kumar called on chief secretary SK Joshi at the Secretariat here on Tuesday and discussed revision of electoral rolls amidst talk of early elections to the state Assembly.

The EC has to publish the final electoral rolls on January 4, 2019. The last date is November 30 for disposal of claims and objections on the draft rolls. In case elections are held before January 1, the EC may take a decision on advancing the revision process.
