The Hindu outlines a step‑by‑step process for residents of Telangana to check whether their name appears in the 2026 SIR draft electoral rolls online.
The State Election Commission of Telangana has released a draft of the 2026 SIR (Supplementary Incremental Revision) electoral rolls, inviting citizens to verify their entries before the final list is published. This draft is a crucial checkpoint for voters to ensure their details are correctly recorded ahead of the upcoming state elections.
To check their name, residents must visit the official Telangana Election Commission portal, navigate to the ‘Draft Electoral Rolls’ section, and select the 2026 SIR edition. Users are required to enter their constituency, polling station number, and personal details such as name and age. The system then displays the relevant page of the draft where the voter can confirm the spelling of their name, address, and other particulars.
If a name is missing or contains errors, the guide advises contacting the Booth Level Officer (BLO) of the respective polling station within the stipulated time frame, usually a few weeks after the draft’s release. Voters can submit a correction request online or in person, providing supporting documents like a proof of residence.
The verification exercise runs concurrently across all districts of Telangana, and the finalized rolls will be used for the 2026 legislative assembly elections, ensuring that every eligible citizen can exercise their franchise without discrepancies.
