Election Commission Extends Voter Roll Revision Deadlines in Maharashtra and Delhi
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has extended the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) deadlines for electoral roll updates in Maharashtra and Delhi until August 17, with final voter lists now scheduled for October 27. The extensions aim to accommodate slow progress in house-to-house verification by Booth Level Officers and digitisation of enumeration forms. Draft rolls will be published on August 24, followed by a claims and objections period until late September. The ECI clarified no voters will be removed solely due to missing 2002 roll data, ensuring eligible voters remain enrolled.
