Telangana Election Commission Processes Over 8.38 Lakh Claims

The Election Commission of India has received 838,558 claims and objections in Telangana ahead of the October 7 deadline. Chief Electoral Officer C. Sudarshan Reddy reported 443,705 applications for fresh enrolment, 357,898 for corrections, and 30,676 for deletions, with Hyderabad district contributing the highest volume of filings.

Processing remains slow, with over 8.14 lakh applications still pending, including nearly 6.5 lakh cases unresolved for 45 days or more. Additionally, officials must still deliver 490,600 notices to voters identified with anomalies before the November 5 notice phase concludes. Over 1.41 crore electors have been cleared for final rolls so far.
