Delhi to Add Polling Stations After Electoral Roll Rationalisation
Delhi is expected to have more polling stations following the rationalisation under the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The maximum number of electors per polling station has been reduced from 1,500 to 1,200, prompting the creation of additional stations where this limit is exceeded. Proposals from district election officers await Election Commission approval, with new stations planned within a two-kilometre radius of existing ones. The draft electoral roll will be published on August 31, with the final roll due November 4.
