Delhi BLOs Asked to Collect Additional Citizenship Proof from Aadhaar-Only Voters
In Delhi's special intensive revision of electoral rolls, booth-level officers (BLOs) have been instructed to seek additional citizenship documents from voters who submitted only Aadhaar cards, amid concerns about 'no mapping' notices. Despite some voters providing field verification reports and undertakings confirming eligibility, Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) have directed further scrutiny to ensure voters are not 'Bangladeshi' or 'Rohingya.' Officials have noted changing instructions, while senior authorities deny targeting specific groups. The Supreme Court upheld the exercise but clarified the Election Commission cannot determine citizenship.
