The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Delhi's affluent and middle-class neighbourhoods are lagging behind low-income areas in verifying and digitising electoral enumeration forms ahead of the August 8 deadline for the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
- As of August 3, upscale seats like Kasturba Nagar (47.8%) and Jangpura (49.3%) were well below outer Delhi constituencies such as Seelampur (74.9%), with officials citing voter apathy in affluent colonies.
- Overall, about 62% of Delhi's 1.45 crore voters have completed forms, and officials estimate nearly 20% of registered voters could be struck off the rolls at the current pace.
- No forms will be accepted after August 8, and the final deletion figures will be known when the draft rolls are published on August 17.
What to watch next
- Whether verification and digitisation rates in affluent constituencies improve before the August 8 deadline
- The actual percentage of voters deleted from the rolls when draft rolls are published on August 17
