Amaravati, Aug 24 (IANS) YSR Congress Party has urged the Chief Electoral Officer of Andhra Pradesh to ensure that Special Intensive Revision (SIR)-2026 data is provided to Booth Level Agents of the party across the State.

YSRCP State General Secretary and MLC Lella Appi Reddy on Monday requested Chief Electoral Officer Vivek Yadav to intervene immediately as the party’s authorised Booth Level Agents (BLAs) are not receiving important SIR-2026 data in several constituencies.

He sought statewide booth-wise details on unmapped voters, logical discrepancies and notices, and requested clear directions to election officials at every level to provide the information to YSRCP BLA-1s and BLA-2s.

In a representation to the CEO, Appi Reddy said YSRCP BLA-1s and BLA-2s have been repeatedly seeking information related to the ongoing SIR-2026 exercise at the district, Assembly constituency and booth levels. However, the required information is either not being provided or is not being made available completely and on time in several places.

He said Pulivendula, Punganur and Uravakonda Assembly constituencies are among the glaring examples where YSRCP representatives have faced difficulties in obtaining the requested data. Similar problems are also being reported at the booth level, where BLA-2s are not receiving the required information from BLOs in several instances.

Appi Reddy said the YSRCP SIR Organisational Team personally visited the RDO office in Kadiri and sought booth-wise details of No Mapping/Unmapped voters and Logical Discrepancies/Anomalies. The RDO informed the team that the office did not have the required login or access to provide such booth-wise information.

However, the YSRCP submitted to the CEO a document containing the same category of booth-wise data pertaining to Chittoor Assembly Constituency. Appi Reddy said this shows that such information is available within the election machinery and underlines the need for clear and uniform instructions across the State.

The YSRCP requested the CEO to provide the party’s Central Office with statewide Assembly constituency-wise and booth-wise details of unmapped voters, logical discrepancies, notices issued and served so far, and notices yet to be issued or served.

Appi Reddy also requested the CEO to direct all District Collectors/DEOs, RDOs/EROs, AEROs and BLOs to provide the relevant SIR-2026 information to authorised YSRCP BLA-1s and BLA-2s at their respective levels.

He said access to the data is necessary for authorised political party representatives to properly verify the electoral rolls, identify genuine omissions or discrepancies and bring them promptly to the notice of election authorities. Uniform sharing of the information would also ensure transparency and consistency in the SIR-2026 process across Andhra Pradesh.
