Delhi SIR drive begins, 13,000 BLOs start door-to-door voter verification
Delhi has commenced a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls involving over 13,000 booth-level officers going door-to-door across 70 Assembly constituencies.
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls began in Delhi on Tuesday, with more than 13,000 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) launching a month-long door-to-door exercise to distribute enumeration forms across the capital’s 70 Assembly constituencies.
Officials said the BLOs have been directed to visit households early in the morning and in the evening, including weekends, to ensure maximum voter coverage.
The exercise, which will continue till July 29, is being carried out across 13,033 polling stations under the supervision of the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer’s office.
Political parties are also participating through Booth Level Agents (BLAs), who are assisting voters in completing and submitting the forms during the revision drive.
During the SIR exercise, each voter will be given two copies of the enumeration form based on details from the last revision in 2002, with one copy retained as acknowledgement and the other submitted to BLOs. Officials clarified that no additional documents are required with the form.
Authorities said filling the form is essential for inclusion in the final electoral roll to be published on October 7, while names of those who fail to comply may be removed from the draft roll scheduled for August 5.
If households are found locked, BLOs will make at least three visits to complete the verification process.
Delhi currently has 1.45 crore registered voters, including 77.11 lakh men and 67.98 lakh women, according to data frozen as of June 16.
Officials also said electors who moved to Delhi after 2002 will need to refer to their last registered details from their native state, with electoral rolls available online on the Election Commission’s portal.
