60% of 33 lakh who received SIR notices in Delhi are now verified

Delhi's Election Commission has verified over 60% of the 33 lakh voters who received SIR notices in September. Election officials have eased the verification process, allowing BLOs to visit homes and correct minor errors like spelling mistakes. Over 19 lakh voters were flagged for logical discrepancies, and nearly 14 lakh were marked as unmapped.

The disposal of SIR notices has been expedited since mid-September, with BLOs instructed to clear at least 10 notices daily. Eligible voters will not be removed from the voter list due to logical inconsistencies.
