Delhi Election Office Resolves Over 60% of SIR Electoral Roll Notices
· India · Indian Express, Times of India, The Hindu
The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer has resolved 20 lakh out of 33 lakh notices issued to electors during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. While the process moved slowly initially with only 4 lakh notices cleared by September 29, the pace accelerated to 1.33 lakh resolutions per day over the following 12 days. Officials attributed this rapid progress to relaxed procedures, increased staffing, and strict performance targets for Booth-Level Officers. The resolved cases include both verified electors who will remain on the rolls and those whose entries were rejected. The final electoral rolls for Delhi are scheduled for publication on December 4, with the objection process continuing until November 30.
Why it matters
The efficient resolution of these notices is critical for ensuring the accuracy of Delhi's electoral rolls, directly impacting the eligibility of millions of voters for upcoming elections.
