Voter Adhikar Manch to expand social audits across Delhi over voter deletions

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Voter Adhikar Manch, a citizens' collective that helps slum and resettlement colony residents exercise their voting rights, has decided to expand its social audits across Delhi after an initial exercise in Mangolpuri.
The audits are aimed at verifying suspected large-scale voter deletions during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls conducted by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Delhi.
More than 47 lakh names, about 33 per cent of Delhi's 1.45 crore electors across 70 constituencies, do not appear in the draft voters list, having been marked absent, shifted, dead, duplicate or other.
The Mangolpuri audit found anomalies including a living voter marked as dead and voters declared permanently shifted whose ground situation was contrary, and the findings are listed in a public social audit report.
The expansion matters because the final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4, and the Manch is appealing to the Delhi CEO to extend the September 30 claims and objections deadline so affected voters can seek redressal.

The Manch's announcement of the specific locations for the new social audits, expected within days
Whether the Delhi CEO's office agrees to extend the September 30 deadline for claims and objections
The planned press conference where the Manch will present case studies once mapping of affected voting pockets is complete

…strong displeasure over the way the ECI is carrying out the SIR exercise. Responding to alleged mass scale deletion of voters earlier, he said that the emphasis it seems is how to “throwing out” voters from the roll. “ How many people can you throw out of the electoral roll? That seems to be the focus ,” he said, calling the process unfair. “Whereas in our time it was a very clear policy — our instruction to the polling staff used to be that if somebody comes introducing himself or herself and there is some minor…
