Delhi and Andhra Pradesh Update Electoral Rolls Amid Special Intensive Revision
Delhi's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) may lead to deletion of 20 to 25 per cent of names from its electoral rolls due to high population mobility, government employee transfers, and unupdated registrations. The exact figure will be clear after draft rolls are published on August 17. Similarly, Andhra Pradesh's draft voter list saw nearly 45 lakh deletions following SIR, including shifted, deceased, and duplicate voters. Both states allow genuine voters to re-register during the claims and objections period.
