Delhi's draft electoral roll was published on Monday, with 47.7 lakh of the city's 1.45 crore electors excluded from the list following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The final electoral roll will be published on November 4.

Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar said those left out of the draft roll can seek inclusion by filing claims through Form 6 along with supporting documents by September 30.

According to the revised Election Commission schedule, the claims and objections will be examined, with the notice and disposal process continuing until October 29.

The draft roll includes around 97.5 lakh electors whose enumeration forms were received and digitised during the house-to-house SIR exercise, which began on June 30 and ended on August 17.

Forms of around 67.18 per cent of Delhi's 1,45,10,299 electors were digitised during the exercise. The remaining 47.7 lakh electors were categorised as "uncollectable" under the Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate and Others (ASDDO) categories and do not figure in the draft roll.

Digitisation rates varied significantly across Delhi's 70 Assembly constituencies. Rohini in northwest Delhi recorded the highest rate at 83.43 per cent, while Tughlakabad in southeast Delhi had the lowest at 52.15 per cent.

The SIR was conducted through house-to-house enumeration to prepare a revised electoral roll. Electors whose enumeration forms were not received during the exercise can now seek inclusion through the claims and objections process.
