Delhi CEO Launches Special Camps to Enrol Left-Out Voters
The Delhi CEO has launched special camps to enrol left-out eligible voters, including students and displaced residents, across the national capital.
In a major push to ensure every eligible citizen has a voice in the democratic process, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Delhi has announced the launch of special enrolment camps across the national capital. These camps are part of an ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) aimed at bringing left-out eligible electors into the official rolls.
The initiative follows a high-level review by the Delhi CEO with District Election Officers, Electoral Registration Officers, and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers to monitor the progress of claims, objections, and the disposal of notices.
Targeting Youth and Students
Recognizing the importance of young voters, the CEO has prioritized outreach in educational institutions. Special camps were organized at various colleges and universities across Delhi on Wednesday to maximize the enrolment of young electors. These sessions, which continued into October 8, provided a platform for students to engage directly with the electoral process.
During these camps, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) played a crucial role by:
- Guiding students through the complexities of filling out enrolment forms.
- Collecting completed applications on the spot.
- Addressing specific queries regarding the Special Intensive Revision process.
House-to-House Drives and Polling Station Camps
The Election Commission of India's directive, issued on October 1, mandates a comprehensive drive to capture all eligible voters who have been missed. To achieve this, BLOs are conducting door-to-door visits to identify eligible individuals and facilitate their enrolment via Form 6.
Looking ahead, the schedule for special camps is as follows:
- October 9 and 11: Special camps will be held at all polling station locations across Delhi.
- Displaced Residents: Specific camps are being organized for electors who have been displaced due to recent colony demolitions. These individuals are encouraged to visit camps at their new places of residence to ensure their names are updated.
- Relocated Voters: Those who have shifted residence and were identified during house-to-house visits can also file Form 6. A list of these electors is available on the Delhi CEO's official website.
How to Enrol: Deadlines and Methods
The CEO has emphasized that the window for claims and objections is currently open. If an eligible citizen finds their name missing from the Draft Electoral Roll, they must act promptly.
Key Dates to Remember
The claims and objections period runs from August 31 to October 30. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on December 4.
Submission Options
Voters have multiple ways to submit their Form 6 along with necessary supporting documents:
- Offline: Submissions can be made to the Electoral Registration Officer, Assistant Electoral Registration Officer, or Booth Level Officers at designated locations and polling stations.
- Online: Citizens can use the Election Commission's voter services portal or the ECINET mobile application for a seamless experience.
Massive Verification Drive Underway
The CEO has assured that all eligible applicants who submit the correct documentation will be included in the rolls. Addressing the technical aspects of the revision, the CEO noted that BLOs are actively visiting electors to collect documents for generated notices, meaning many citizens will not need to visit offices for hearings.
As of Wednesday, a massive 1,362,162 cases involving logical discrepancies and no-mapping issues have already been verified through document collection. All pending notices, claims, and objections are slated to be fully disposed of by November 30, 2026, in accordance with the SIR schedule.
