Andhra Pradesh - The SIR will now be completed by 20 November. This extension allows people to complete processes around adding names and correcting details on the electoral roll.
Telangana - The deadline has been extended to 26 November. This allows officials and voters to complete processes around registering new voters, verifying existing entries and processing claims and objections.
The final electoral roll will be published on 30 November. Voters should check the exact details for each stage in the process in their state by referring to the orders issued by the Election Commission.
