Delhi SIR draft electoral roll released: 47.7 lakh out of 1.45 voters excluded, claims open till Sep 30
Excluded voters can file claims with supporting documents as officials review objections before the final roll is published, the Chief Electoral Officer said.
On Monday, August 31, 2026, Delhi published its draft electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision, excluding 47.7 lakh electors from the total 1.45 crore voters currently on the list.
Election authorities categorized excluded voters as 'uncollectable' under Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate, and Others; officials clarified this classification does not mean permanent removal from the electoral roll.
Voters can verify their status using the Election Commission's online portal or the ASDD List published by the Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer for electors not included in the draft.
Between August 31 and September 30, eligible voters may file claims using Form 6 for inclusion, Form 7 to object to deletion, or Form 8 for corrections to existing entries.
Delhi is one of 19 states and Union Territories undergoing the Special Intensive Revision's third phase, with the final electoral roll scheduled for publication on November 4.
