  "account": "The Election Commission of India has revised the schedule for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Delhi, extending the deadline for completing the process to August 17. This is the second extension to the SIR in Delhi this month. The final draft electoral rolls are now set to be published on August 24, a delay from the originally scheduled date of August 17. The period for reviewing claims and objections from voters will extend from August 24 to October 22, while the publication of the final electoral rolls has been moved to October 27, from the previous date of October 19.\n\nBLOs have already distributed enumeration forms to approximately 1.45 crore registered voters across Delhi. Over 62% of these forms have been digitized so far. The door-to-door verification drive, initially set to conclude on August 8, has been postponed until a later date. The guidelines for filling out the Delhi SIR form involve matching personal details with those from the 2002 electoral rolls or providing information from relatives if their names are not found in the previous records. Key details required include date of birth, mobile number, and the current EPIC number of a parent, guardian, or spouse. Aadhaar numbers are optional. Electors are advised to submit their completed forms to designated BLOs, who will provide an acknowledgement receipt upon submission.",
