Between 20% and 30% of Delhi’s voter names may be excluded from the draft electoral roll during the Special Intensive Revision, according to election officials cited by The Hans India and The Times of India. The Times of India said verification of nearly 32% of the city’s 1.45 crore registered voters was pending, with many forms uncollected because voters had shifted, died or appeared as duplicates. Officials said Delhi’s mobile population, rented housing and frequent transfers contribute to outdated addresses. The Hans India said the draft roll was expected on August 17, while The Times of India reported August 24. Names missing from the draft can be challenged between August 24 and September 23. Eligible voters are due to be included in the final roll on October 27 after verification.
