Delhi's Special Intensive Revision Ends with Nearly One-Third Voters Marked for Possible Deletion
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi concluded its enumeration phase with about 67% of forms digitised, covering 97 lakh voters. Approximately 47.7 lakh voters, nearly one-third, were marked under categories like Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate, or Others (ASDDO) and face possible exclusion from the draft electoral roll published on August 24. Officials attribute high deletion rates to the city's large migrant population and frequent relocations. A claims and objections period will follow, allowing affected voters to contest their status before the final roll is published on October 27.
