Following the completion of the Special Summary Revision (SIR) exercise in the national capital, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) office has published the updated draft voter list. According to the revised figures, approximately 47.7 lakh names out of the total 1.45 crore registered electors in Delhi have been excluded from the roll. This comprehensive cleanup effort aims to ensure electoral data accuracy ahead of upcoming polls.
Areas Most Impacted by the Exclusion
Data indicates that heavily populated assembly constituencies, including Okhla and Chandni Chowk, recorded the highest number of voter exclusions. The revision process targeted duplicate entries, unannounced address changes, and voters who have permanently relocated. Similar voter list verification drives are underway across the country, with Maharashtra anticipating the exclusion of up to 2.07 crore voters under the SIR process.
Steps for Citizens to Re-Include Their Names
Voters whose names have been omitted from the draft list retain full opportunity to apply for re-inclusion or correction during the designated claim period. The Chief Electoral Officer has outlined accessible avenues for eligible citizens.
- Online Application: Citizens can submit Form 6 through the official Election Commission portal or the Voter Helpline mobile application to register their names.
- Physical Form Submission: Eligible individuals may approach their designated Booth Level Officer (BLO) to file claims and objections along with supporting documents.
- Document Verification: Upon verification of valid identity and residence proofs, official approval will add eligible citizens back to the final voter list.
