Around 62.44 lakh electors, comprising nearly 42% of Delhi’s voters, have been mapped with the 2002 rolls, Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi Ashok Kumar said on Wednesday.
The special intensive revision (SIR) of rolls in the Capital will begin on June 30, he added.
As per the 2011 Census, the city has over 1.46 crore voters across 13,033 polling stations. Mr. Kumar said the low rate of mapping was not a concern and would improve with door-to-door verification and awareness drives.
“Delhi has a significant migrant population, so mapping voters with the 2002 electoral rolls [when the revision of rolls was last done in the city] during the pre-SIR exercise was a challenge,” he said.
The pre-SIR mapping exercise, under way since January, verifies voters against the 2002 rolls. In cases where the name of an elector does not appear in the 2002 list but the names of their parents do, the voter will have to submit an identity proof, along with the enumeration form and an extract of the 2002 voter list showing relatives’ names. Such electors can link themselves through the electoral rolls from other States.
The month-long door-to-door drive will see Booth Level Officers visit households to verify voter details. Each elector will receive an enumeration form that must be returned with SIR-linked details.
Forms can also be submitted online.
“The main objective of the special intensive revision is that no eligible citizen is left out and no ineligible person is included in the electoral roll,” said the CEO. The draft roll will be published on August 5, with claims and objections open till September 4. Verification and hearings will continue till October 3, and the final rolls will be published on October 7.
Mr. Kumar said meetings were held with leaders from six national parties, which have appointed 29,758 booth-level agents across Delhi.
