Nearly 33% of Delhi Voters Face Deletion Risk After SIR Deadline
· India · Hindustan Times, LiveMint, Zee News
Approximately 4.76 million voters in Delhi, representing 32.82% of the total electorate, face potential deletion from the electoral rolls following the conclusion of the first phase of the special intensive revision on Monday. The process, which linked current voter data to the 2002 base roll, saw varying levels of digitisation progress across the city's 70 assembly constituencies. Rohini recorded the highest digitisation rate at 83.43%, while Tughlakabad is expected to face the highest risk of deletions. Officials stated that final figures will be confirmed on Tuesday as some digitisation work remains ongoing. Voters identified as absent or shifted will have the opportunity to file claims and objections before the final electoral roll is published on October 27.
Why it matters
The mass deletion risk threatens the voting rights of nearly one in three Delhi residents, requiring affected citizens to proactively verify their registration status and file necessary documentation to remain on the electoral roll.
