Delhi Announces Camps for Voters Left Out of Draft Roll
Delhi is checking its voter list and helping eligible people whose names are missing.
Election workers called Booth Level Officers will visit homes and help people apply using Form 6.
Camps are also being held at colleges and universities, and more are planned at polling stations.
People who moved after their homes were demolished can apply from their new area.
People marked as absent, moved, dead or listed twice can check the published list and apply too.
Applications can be made online or in person during the claims and objections period.
That period ends on October 30.
The final voter list is expected on December 4.
Officials say their goal is to include every eligible voter and remove ineligible entries.
Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer announced special camps and door-to-door visits to help eligible voters missing from the draft roll apply through Form 6.
Camps were held at colleges and universities on Wednesday and were scheduled to continue October 8; further camps were planned at polling stations on October 9 and 11.
Displaced residents and electors marked absent, shifted, dead or duplicate during verification can check the ASDD list and apply for enrolment.
The claims and objections period runs from August 31 to October 30, and the final electoral roll is scheduled for December 4.
Reports cite different verification totals: the CEO’s office said 13,62,162 cases were verified as of Wednesday, while another report said 10.28 lakh notices had been verified by Monday.
