Delhi to begin SIR, over 13,000 officials to verify Delhi voter rolls from June 30
Delhi will begin a Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls on June 30 through a citywide door-to-door survey. The exercise will update voter data before the final roll is published on October 7.
Delhi is preparing to begin a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of its electoral rolls next week, with training under way for booth-level officers and political party agents across the city’s 13 districts.
At a meeting with recognised political parties on Wednesday, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar discussed the door-to-door survey that will start on June 30. During the exercise, more than 13,000 booth-level officers will carry out house-to-house enumeration. Kumar said the SIR was meant to ensure that “No eligible citizen is left out while no ineligible person is included in the Electoral Roll.”
The meeting was attended by representatives of the AAP, BJP, BSP, CPI(M) and Congress. Officials said a four-day training programme for booth-level officers, booth-level officer supervisors and booth-level agents of political parties was due to end on Thursday.
The Delhi CEO’s office said voters will have to provide information related to the last SIR in 2002 in the enumeration form, return one copy to the booth-level officer and take an acknowledgement from them.
Representatives of political parties were also briefed on how to fill the enumeration form in different situations, including self-mapping, progeny mapping and cases in which no mapping could be done with the electoral roll of 2002. They were also told how forms should be filled for married women who moved to Delhi after the last SIR and whose names are not included in the electoral rolls of their native places.
The door-to-door survey by booth-level officers will continue till July 29, and the draft electoral roll will be published on August 5. Claims and objections can then be filed by voters and political parties from August 5 to September 4. The CEO’s office said notices will be issued to voters if required, and claims and objections will be dealt with from August 5 to October 3. The final electoral roll will be published on October 7.
According to the final electoral roll published for the 2025 Assembly elections, Delhi has more than 1.55 crore registered voters. The total number of voters stands at 15,524,858, including 8,349,645 men, 7,173,952 women and 1,261 third-gender voters.
