Delhi SIR: Public audit in two booths find over 100 voters wrongly marked absent, shifted, or dead
Voters residing at the same address for multiple decades express anger that they were marked ‘untraceable’, ‘absent’, and permanently shifted, and their only option is to enrol afresh using Form 6
A public audit conducted in two polling booths of Delhi's Okhla constituency revealed that over 100 voters were incorrectly marked as absent, shifted, or deceased during the special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls. The audit, which covered 258 households over seven days, found that the constituency had the second-highest rate of deletions in the draft roll published after the SIR enumeration phase.
Residents, many of whom have lived at the same address for decades, expressed anger over their wrongfully marked status and were given the option to re-enroll using Form 6.
