Why it matters
Public confidence in the integrity of electoral rolls is fundamental to the democratic process.
Former Minister Sanakkayala Aruna on Monday (July 13, 2026) alleged that she was unable to find her voter verification details for the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls process. She questioned the effectiveness of the exercise, which concludes on July 14.
After submitting a representation to District Collector M. Sai Kanth Varma, Ms. Aruna stated that she did not receive a satisfactory response from the electoral verification staff when she sought clarification. “If a former Minister is unable to ensure her own vote, then what about ordinary voters?” she questioned, urging the district administration to examine the issue and ensure that eligible voters do not face inconvenience. She said that she had been casting her vote for the last forty years and demanded that she should have her rights.
