The 33 lakh electors in Delhi, who received notices during the SIR of electoral rolls, have been verified based on documents collected from them, with the poll panel set to dispose of all claims and objections by November 30.

BLOs Visiting Electors' Homes

Booth-level officers (BLOs) are visiting electors who have been issued notices to collect their documents, and they do not need to visit government offices for hearings, the CEO's office said.

The verification relates to around 33 lakh electors who were included in the draft electoral roll but were issued notices to establish their eligibility for inclusion in the final roll. Of these, 13.79 lakh could not link themselves to the electoral roll prepared during the previous SIR in 2002, while 19.33 lakh were flagged for "logical discrepancies" in their enumeration forms, the Delhi CEO said in an October 9 Statement.

Delhi had around 1.45 crore electors before the SIR exercise. Of these, about 97.5 lakh were included in the draft roll, while nearly 47.5 lakh were left out after BLOs marked them under categories including absent, shifted, dead and duplicate (ASDD).

The CEO's office said all notices, claims and objections would be disposed of by November 30 as per the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) schedule. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on December 4.

Special Camps Organised

Meanwhile, amid a political row over the conduct of SIR, the Delhi poll body has stepped up efforts to enrol eligible voters left out of the draft roll, with special camps held across polling station locations. Camps were also organised for residents of colonies affected by recent demolitions, including Jailorwala Bagh in the Wazirpur assembly constituency and S, A, U and N blocks in Mangolpuri. A special camp was also organised at Indian Adult Education, I P Estate, for the registration of transgender electors.

Special camps were held at schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions on October 7 and 8, where students submitted Form 6 for enrolment in the electoral rolls. Another round of camps held at polling station locations across Delhi on October 11.
