The draft electoral roll for Delhi was published on August 31, 2026, after the completion of the Special Intensive Revision or SIR, which began on June 20 and culminated on August 17.

As many as 47.7 lakh electors out of the 1.45 crore of the national capital’s voters were excluded in the draft roll. They are now considered as people who may have moved or died; are covered under duplicate entries, or for “other” reasons have now been marked “uncollectible” and will eventually have their names struck off. However, a system for inclusion has also been outlined.
