BRS leader urges graduates to register for MLC rolls by Nov 6
The Story in Brief
BRS leader Shaik Abdullah Sohail has called on eligible graduates in the Mahabubnagar-Rangareddy-Hyderabad and Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Graduates' Legislative Council constituencies to register as voters before the November 6 deadline.
Sohail said fresh registration is mandatory for all, including those who voted in previous Graduate MLC elections, because the electoral rolls are being prepared afresh. He urged graduates, such as young professionals, employees, entrepreneurs and job-seekers, to submit a new Form-18 application.
He warned that many graduates mistakenly believe their names will carry over automatically. Having a regular voter ID for Assembly or Lok Sabha elections does not qualify a person as a Graduate MLC voter, Sohail said.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The November 6 deadline means thousands of graduates in Telangana must act now or lose their vote in the Graduate MLC elections. Sohail's clarification that even previous voters must re-register targets a widespread misunderstanding that could disenfranchise a large bloc. The onus is on individual graduates to file Form-18, no automatic carry-over exists. The next concrete step is the cutoff date itself.
