Door-to-door BLO visits expected to include ‘left-out’ voters in Delhi SIR

The Delhi Special Intensive Revision (SIR) draft rolls have left out approximately 47.5 lakh voters, prompting the booth level officers (BLOs) to undertake door-to-door visits to reinstate eligible individuals into the electoral rolls. The deadline for filling Form 6 to register as new voters is October 31. The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) initiated a special re-verification drive on October 14, requesting BLOs to revisit all electors marked as absent, shifted, dead or duplicate (ASDD) to verify their eligibility for enrollment.

The BLOs are instructed to obtain Form-6 from those found residing at the given address and maintain proper records of such electors. The SIR process began in June, starting with 1.45 crore electors in Delhi, of which 97.5 lakh were included in the draft electoral roll published on August 31. The final SIR roll is expected to be published on December 4, with BLOs conducting house-to-house visits to collect documents from those flagged for notices.
