Around 20 lakh cases out of nearly 33 lakh entries flagged for logical discrepancies or unmapped records in Delhi’s voter list have been resolved under the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026, according to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Delhi.
In a post on X, the CEO’s office said a proactive campaign had been launched to address discrepancies and help ensure that eligible voters are not excluded from the electoral roll. The office also urged voters facing difficulties to contact election officials for assistance.
The draft electoral roll was published on August 31 and is available on the CEO, Delhi, website and at polling stations. The claims and objections period will remain open until October 30, while applications received during this period are scheduled to be disposed of by November 30. The final electoral roll is scheduled for publication on December 4.
CEO Assures Eligible Voters of Inclusion in Electoral Roll
The CEO’s office said voters with grievances could approach any of the 14,947 Booth Level Officers (BLOs), 902 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), 70 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), 13 District Electoral Officers (DEOs) or the Chief Electoral Officer.
The office stated that no eligible voter would be excluded from the electoral roll, while encouraging citizens to verify their details and raise objections wherever necessary.
The reported resolution of around 20 lakh cases represents progress in addressing the nearly 33 lakh entries flagged for logical discrepancies or unmapped records. However, the supplied figures do not specify how many cases remain unresolved in each category.

Form 6 is used by eligible applicants seeking inclusion in the electoral roll. New applicants who attain the age of 18 on or before October 1 can also apply using this form, along with the prescribed declaration and supporting documents.
The figures cover the 13 districts listed by the CEO’s office as part of the SIR exercise.
