Delhi Draft Electoral Roll Excludes 47.7 Lakh Names Ahead of Final SIR List
Delhi's draft electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) will exclude about 47.7 lakh voter names out of 1.45 crore electors, marking them as 'uncollectable' in categories like absent, shifted, dead, or duplicate. The draft, covering 67.18% of electors, will be published Monday, with a claims and objections window from August 31 to September 30 for those excluded. Notices may be sent to some electors due to discrepancies, and additional documents beyond Aadhaar may be required to verify eligibility. The final roll is expected by November 4.
