Hyderabad, July 22, 2025:
In a significant move towards conducting fair and inclusive *local body elections, the *Panchayat Raj Department of Telangana has announced that a new voter list will be prepared specifically for the upcoming Panchayat elections.
With a noticeable increase in the number of Panchayats and wards across the state, the Telangana State Election Commission (TSEC) has instructed authorities to compile a comprehensive and updated electoral roll.
Why a New Voter List?
The existing voter data, though recently compiled, may not reflect the latest administrative changes such as *ward restructuring, creation of **new Gram Panchayats, and *population growth in various rural areas. To ensure transparency and up-to-date records, the *new list will be prepared at the ward level, using each *village as a separate unit.
Process Details
According to sources, the new list will:
- Be ward-wise, rather than village-wide, to improve granularity
- Incorporate recently added wards and Panchayats
- Be aligned with the Election Commission’s directives to ensure accuracy
- Focus on including first-time voters and removing duplicate or outdated entries
The draft of this new list is expected to be shared for public scrutiny before being finalized.
Public Participation is Crucial
Officials have urged citizens to verify their voter details, especially in areas where new wards have been formed. Public notices and awareness drives will be conducted in rural regions to ensure maximum voter inclusion.
Key Highlights:
- New voter list being prepared for Telangana Panchayat elections
- Increase in wards and Panchayats prompts updated electoral rolls
- Each village to be treated as a unit; ward-wise listing planned
- Voter verification process to be initiated soon
- Telangana State Election Commission monitoring the preparations closely
