If something goes wrong
If it is rejected
If you disagree with the ERO's order, you can appeal to your District Collector (the Appellate Officer named by ECI) within 15 days of the order. Write a memo, sign it, attach a copy of the ERO's order, and hand it in, or send it by registered post so that it arrives in time. Against the appeal decision you can appeal again to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Andhra Pradesh, within 30 days. ECINET also lets you file an appeal online. Or fix the problem and apply afresh.
Your District Collector (Appellate Officer); then the Chief Electoral Officer, Andhra Pradesh (A.P. Secretariat, Velagapudi)
Not confirmed: ECI named the District Collectors as Appellate Officers in 2023; we read only the June 2026 amendment (for some districts). By ECI's manual, only one appeal is allowed while a revision is running; the second appeal to the CEO is for the rest of the year (continuous updation). Ask at the ERO office or on 1950 where to file your appeal.
If it is late
If the BLO does not come, the decision is late or the card does not arrive, call 1950. Or lodge a complaint on the Voters' Service Portal or in the ECINET app; you can follow it with its complaint number.

If your name is not on the SIR draft roll (for example, if you could not hand in the enumeration form), you can apply afresh with Form 6 and the Declaration Form. Lists of electors marked absent, shifted, dead or duplicate (ASDD), with the reasons, are on the website of the Chief Electoral Officer, Andhra Pradesh.

Also
If the post brings the card back undelivered, the ERO must have the BLO hand it to you within 15 days. If the address on the card is wrong, the BLO has you fill in Form 8. Meanwhile you can download the e-EPIC.
