Voter list camps in Delhi see families struggle with document proof

Delhi's election offices have set up Special Intensive Revision (SIR) camps across the city to resolve voter list discrepancies before the September 30 deadline. The Times of India reports that at a camp in Zeenat Mahal School, Kamla Market, over 500 people arrive daily to fix spelling errors, name mismatches, date of birth issues, and to establish family relationships. An official said corrections are completed the same day and the process takes about five minutes.

The Hindu reports a more stressful scene at a camp near Mori Gate, where 63-year-old daily-wage earner Sanichari Devi fainted after being sent back and forth for documents. The Hindu notes that Delhi's voter list has shrunk from 1.45 crore to 97.5 lakh people, with 47.6 lakh marked absent, shifted, dead or duplicate. Over 13 lakh people have been served notices for being unmapped and 19 lakh for logical discrepancies. The final electoral roll will be published on November 4.
