Delhi Voter Registration Drive to Launch with Home Visits

Delhi is set to update its voter list with a thorough revision starting June 30, involving house visits by officials. The exercise includes training and comprehensive checks, with political party involvement, to ensure transparency and accessibility for all eligible voters.

The process of revising Delhi's voter list will commence with door-to-door visits from June 30, announced Ashok Kumar, Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer. These visits, conducted by booth-level officers, aim to maintain transparency throughout the revision.

Before the fieldwork starts, from June 20 to June 29, training for these officers and preparation of necessary documents will be conducted. Each step will be marked by rigorous checks, involving booth-level agents from political parties to ensure accountability during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).

To facilitate voter participation, awareness programs and dedicated camps will be held. Voters will be helped to submit their forms, either in person or online, as the initiative targets those 18 years and older by October 1.

The outreach involves over 13,000 officers conducting enumerations across households. Each elector will receive a two-part enumeration form, returning one complete copy to their officer. The SIR begins on June 30 and will end on July 29, with the new draft list debuting on August 5. The final results will be published on October 7.
