  "account": "The Election Commission has extended the deadline for processing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) claims and objections in Uttarakhand’s electoral rolls. As of September 28, more than 1.3 lakh Form-7 applications seeking name deletions have been filed, accounting for over 85% of the state's 1.3 million such applications. Udham Singh Nagar tops the list, with 43,878 applications, followed by Haridwar, Dehradun, and Nainital. These four districts combined represent more than 85% of the total Form-7 applications received during the claims-and-objections period. The extended deadline allows time to complete the disposal of pending claims and objections, ensuring a final voter list is published on October 3, instead of the originally scheduled September 15.",
