Telangana draft voter list omits 7.3 million names, CEO says
Big update for Telangana: 7.3 million names have not been included in the draft voter list, mostly because people moved away, passed on, or were listed more than once.
The Chief Electoral Officer, C Sudharshan Reddy, also mentioned that another 9.2 million will get notices over anomalies or failure to establish a link with the 2002 rolls.

Hyderabad, Rangareddy, and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts saw some of the biggest drops in voter numbers (over 40% in certain areas).
Plus, about 318,000 duplicate registrations were spotted and are being verified right now.
