Delhi Adds 1,914 Polling Stations After Election Commission Rationalisation
Delhi has increased its polling stations from 13,033 to 14,947 following a rationalisation exercise under the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision. The maximum number of electors per station was reduced from 1,500 to 1,200 to improve voter convenience. The exercise involved physical verification of locations and consultations with political parties. District-wise increases varied, with South East and North East districts seeing the highest rises. The draft electoral rolls are scheduled for publication on August 31.
