The Delhi SIR draft has shocked many after the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Delhi published the draft electoral roll following the multi-month Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
The data reveals an unprecedented deletion rate: out of the capital’s 1.45 crore registered electors, roughly 47.7 lakh names have been left off the draft list after door-to-door verification teams were unable to validate their status.
The mass omissions stem from a complete house-to-house survey where Booth Level Officers (BLOs) successfully collected and verified digital data for 67% of the city’s voter base. The remaining 33% were categorized under ASDDO—Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate, or Others—and excluded to prevent fraudulent voting.
