Delhi's Electoral Roll Revision Sees Distribution Disputes and Extended Deadline
The ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Delhi's electoral rolls has seen mixed reports. The Aam Aadmi Party alleges that nearly half of residents in villages and unauthorized colonies have not received enumeration forms, accusing booth level officers (BLOs) of withholding forms and deleting voter names. In contrast, the Election Commission reports over 98% distribution across districts, with digitisation surpassing 50%. The commission extended the deadline to August 8 to address pending verifications and ensure inclusivity, especially for residents of recently demolished homes.
