Delhi's draft electoral roll excludes 47.7 lakh voters; final list due November 4
Delhi's draft electoral roll, published after the Special Intensive Revision

Delhi's draft electoral roll, published on Monday, excludes 47.7 lakh of the city's 1.45 crore electors, according to officials. The deletion figure represents about 33 per cent of the electorate, the highest percentage at the draft stage among all states and Union Territories where the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) has been carried out, as reported by Business Today and India Today.
The draft roll includes around 97.5 lakh electors whose enumeration forms were received and digitised during the house-to-house SIR exercise, which began on June 30 and ended on August 17. The remaining 47.7 lakh voters were classified as "uncollectable" under the Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate and Others (ASDDO) categories and therefore do not appear in the draft list.
A poll official attributed the high number of deletions to Delhi's large floating population, saying, "Delhi being the national capital, has a large number of floating population which could be the reason for high number of deletions." The deletion figure is also among the highest in absolute numbers compared with other states and territories where the revision has been undertaken.
Voters who do not find their names in the draft roll can apply for inclusion. Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar said such voters can file claims through Form 6, along with supporting documents, by September 30. The Election Commission will examine the claims and objections, with the notice and disposal process continuing until October 29. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4.
The digitisation of enumeration forms varied widely across Delhi's 70 Assembly constituencies, with Rohini in northwest Delhi recording the highest rate at 83.43 per cent and Tughlakabad in southeast Delhi the lowest at 52.15 per cent.
How each outlet told it
A framing line is our reading of that outlet's own text — an interpretation, not a quotation and not a fact we assert. Check it against what the outlet published.
Delhi's draft electoral roll has left out nearly 47.7 lakh voters after the completion of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), meaning almost one in three electors in the capital does not figure in the draft list.
The draft roll was published on Monday, with the Election Commission recording deletions of about 33 per cent of Delhi's electorate — the 'highest percentage' at the draft stage among all states and Union Territories where the SIR has been carried out.
Delhi has 1,45,10,299 registered electors, of whom around 97.5 lakh are included in the draft roll.
These are voters whose enumeration forms were received and digitised during the house-to-house SIR exercise, which began on June 30 and ended on August 17.
The remaining 47.7 lakh voters have been classified as 'uncollectable' under the Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate and Others (ASDDO) categories and have therefore not been included in the draft roll.
A poll official said Delhi's large floating population could be one reason behind the high number of deletions.
The deletion figure is also among the highest in absolute numbers compared with other states and Union Territories where the revision has been undertaken.
Voters who do not find their names in the draft roll can still apply for inclusion.
Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar said such voters can file claims through Form 6, along with supporting documents, by September 30.
The Election Commission will examine the claims and objections after they are filed.
The notice and disposal process will continue until October 29.
The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4.
The digitisation of enumeration forms also varied widely across Delhi's 70 Assembly constituencies.
The SIR was carried out through house-to-house enumeration to prepare a revised electoral roll.
Those whose enumeration forms were not received during the exercise can now seek inclusion through the claims and objections process.
AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
