Electors who fail to attend the hearing on the designated date and time due to work, an emergency, or lack of required documents need not worry. Such electors have an opportunity to seek another date for the hearing and submit the required documents to the Booth Level Officer, AERO or ERO. They can also walk into the polling station and submit the details there.

However, such a provision is available till the notice, claims and objections phase ends. As per the SIR revised schedule, the individuals can raise claims and file objections on the draft electoral roll until October 7.

The notice, disposal of claims and objections phase will conclude on November 5. The final electoral roll publication is scheduled for November 9.

According to the Telangana Chief Electoral Office sources, electors who fail to respond to notices within the deadline will not be included in the final electoral rolls. Such electors have to submit Form-6, along with prescribed declaration, for inclusion as a voter.
