New Delhi, Nov. 9 -- Nearly 3 lakh applications seeking fresh enrolment in the electoral roll have been filed in Delhi since the publication of the draft roll on August 31, which excluded around 47.5 lakh voters, official data showed.
A total of 2,98,940 Form 6 applications were received between August 31 and November 8, along with 2,12,400 received up to August 30, the data showed.
Delhi election authorities will start generating fresh enumeration forms for all 47.5 lakh electors excluded from the draft roll from this week, as part of a re-verification exercise to facilitate their inclusion in the final electoral roll, officials said on Monday.
The exercise will cover electors marked as absent, shifted, dead and duplicate (ASDD) during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, including those who shifted from one place to another within Delhi but were left out of the draft roll.
The data also showed that 30,122 Form 7 applications, which seek
deletion of names from the electoral roll, were received between August 31 and November 8, along with 51,471 applications submitted up to August 30.
The Delhi CEO's office said fresh enumeration forms will allow excluded electors to establish eligibility, while BLOs will verify details through field visits.
