  "account": "In Delhi, booth-level officers (BLOs) are tasked with revising the voter lists for the national capital, following the exclusion of over 47 lakh voters from the draft electoral rolls. The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, as directed by Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar, aims to ensure that no eligible voter is left out of the final voter lists, which are set to be published on December 4. The draft rolls, published on August 31, showed a 32.8% deletion rate in Delhi, the second lowest among the six metro cities. BLOs will only verify the addresses listed in their records and will not conduct a neighborhood search. If any voter is found to have been excluded by error, the BLO will assist them in completing Form 6 to include their name in the final voter lists. Around 25 lakh cases involving voters facing non-mapping or logical discrepancies have already been resolved.",
  "summary": "Among the six metro cities – Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad – Delhi’s 32.8% deletions at the draft stage were the second lowest.",
