More than 47.5 lakh names were excluded from the draft electoral roll; final voter list is scheduled for publication on December 22.
More than three lakh applications seeking fresh voter enrolment have been received in Delhi since the publication of the draft electoral roll on August 31, which left out around 47.5 lakh voters, according to official data.
A total of 3,00,431 Form 6 applications were submitted between August 31 and November 9, seeking inclusion in the electoral roll. During the same period, election authorities received 30,490 Form 7 applications for deletion of names and 1,10,912 Form 8 applications for corrections or modifications.
Delhi election officials will begin generating fresh enumeration forms for all 47.5 lakh electors excluded from the draft list as part of a re-verification exercise. The process will cover voters categorised as absent, shifted, dead or duplicate (ASDD), including those who moved within Delhi but were left out of the draft roll.
Officials said voters who have already submitted Form 6 during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) will not need to apply again.
Those who have not shifted residence must submit a statement explaining why their enumeration forms were not filed earlier. Voters who have moved within Delhi will need to provide their new address and Assembly constituency details.
The Election Commission has extended the deadline for filing claims and objections to November 25. Their disposal is scheduled by December 15, while the final electoral roll will be published on December 22.
