Nearly one-third of Delhi’s 1.45 crore voters likely to be excluded from draft SIR rolls next week
As many as 97.20 lakh enumeration forms, or 66.99 per cent of the 1,45,10,299 electors, have been digitised until Monday, according to the latest status report issued by the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer's office.
Nearly one-third of Delhi's 1.45 crore voters may be removed from the draft Special Intensive Revision (SIR) electoral roll next week, according to a recent report. The ongoing enumeration and digitisation exercise, which concluded on August 17, has seen 66.99 per cent of the 1.45 lakh electors' enumeration forms digitised. This leaves around 45 lakh electors – roughly 33 per cent of the total – potentially excluded from the draft roll due to factors such as absence, relocation, death, or duplication.
Voters who fall under the absent, shifted, dead and duplicate (ASDD) categories will need to file applications during the claims and objections period, which runs until September 23, to retain their names on the final electoral roll. The final list is set to be published on October 27. Delhi's outer north recorded the highest digitisation rate at 75.66 per cent, followed by West (73.17 per cent) and South West (73.03 per cent). The lowest digitisation rate was observed in South East (55.94 per cent).
