Only 1,238 of 4.5 lakh Delhi voter forms resolved in 42 days
The Story in Brief
Delhi's special intensive revision of its voter list has resolved only 1,238 of the 4.5 lakh Form-6 applications received for inclusion, as of 11 October. The 42-day disposal rate of under 0.3 per cent has left most pending with 10 days left to apply and the final list due on 4 December.
The backlog is worst in Burari, where 1.67 lakh names were deleted and zero Form-6 applications have been processed. Across the northern district, only 27 of 36,000-plus applications have been disposed. By contrast, more than 5,800 Form-7 objections have been cleared, five times the Form-6 rate. Booth-level officers have been occupied with notice-linked cases, say officials.
Citizens whose applications have been pending for over a month face losing the chance to reapply if rejected after 30 October. The deadline for settling all claims and objections is 30 November. The final electoral roll will be published on 4 December.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 42-day pace of resolving 1,238 of 4.5 lakh Form-6 applications for voter inclusion would leave most applications pending past the 30 October deadline. Because rejected applicants after that date get no second chance, the bottleneck hits the citizens most affected by the 47.5 lakh draft deletions. The CEO's new instruction to re-verify all deleted names door-to-door adds fieldwork that competing blocks of time for Form-6 physical verification, especially in the 15 constituencies with zero disposal. The 30 November final disposal deadline now tests whether election machinery can clear the backlog without leaving voters stranded.
