Delhi Poll Office Rejects Claims Over Excluded Voter Details
Delhi recently published a draft list of voters after checking voter information.
About 47.5 lakh people were left out of the draft list.
The Aam Aadmi Party and the Indian National Congress said they did not receive enough details about those voters.
They especially wanted addresses and photos so the names could be checked.
The Delhi poll office said it had shared the information in the required format.
It also said party-appointed booth-level agents should have written down the addresses from election officials.
People who were left out can ask to be added again by September 30.
The final voter list is expected on November 4.
The Delhi poll office said it shared information on voters excluded from the draft electoral rolls.
The Aam Aadmi Party and Indian National Congress alleged that addresses and photos of excluded voters were not provided.
About 47.5 lakh of Delhi’s 1.45 crore electors were excluded after the Special Intensive Revision.
The poll office said booth-level agents should have collected addresses and other details from booth-level officers.
Excluded voters can file claims through Form 6 until September 30, with the final roll due on November 4.
