All-party panel for more time to rectify SIR errors in Andhra
VIJAYAWADA: An all-party delegation and civil society coalition under the Votu Parirakshana Vedika (Vote Protection Forum) submitted a memorandum to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) on Tuesday, alleging that flawed Special Intensive Revision (SIR) procedures threaten to disenfranchise nearly 66 lakh voters across Andhra Pradesh.
The delegation, comprising leaders from YSRCP, CPM, CPI, Congress, alongside retired civil servants, demanded an immediate extension of the voter revision and objection filing deadline until September 30, 2026.
According to data cited in the representation, 44.89 lakh voters were omitted from the draft electoral roll during the first phase of SIR.
