Delhi CEO’s Massive Drive to Clean Up Voter Lists: Deadline October 30
Delhi CEO conducts a Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Check deadlines for new registrations and corrections before the final list.
The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) in Delhi is currently executing a high-stakes Delhi electoral roll revision to ensure the integrity of the national capital's voter registry. This Special Intensive Revision (SIR), which kicked off on August 31, 2026, is a comprehensive effort across all 13 districts to ensure that every eligible citizen has a voice and no ineligible names remain on the list.
The Scale of the Operation
The sheer magnitude of this exercise is reflected in the workforce deployed on the ground. To leave no stone unturned, the administration has mobilized a massive team consisting of:
- 70 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs)
- 902 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs)
- 1,313 Booth Level Supervisors
- Approximately 15,000 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) who are conducting rigorous house-to-house verifications.
Cleaning the Data: Millions of Entries Under Scrutiny
Delhi CEO Ashok Kumar has emphasized a commitment to accuracy, implementing a secondary layer of oversight to prevent wrongful deletions. A rigorous re-verification process is currently underway for 4.7 million names that were previously earmarked for removal.
The challenge has been immense, with officials tackling a vast number of discrepancies:
- Notices Issued: Out of 33.12 million voters who were issued notices, approximately 25 million cases had been resolved by October 15, 2026.
- Logical Errors: The department has successfully cleared roughly 20 million out of 33 million entries that were initially flagged for unmapped data or logical errors.
How Citizens Can Participate
The administration is urging citizens to take an active role in ensuring their details are correct. To facilitate this, special camps are scheduled to be held at all polling stations on October 18 and October 25, 2026.
Depending on their needs, voters can submit the following forms:
- Form-6: For those seeking new registrations.
- Form-7: For filing objections or requesting deletions.
- Form-8: For making corrections to existing details or updating residency information.
The Final Countdown
The window for filing claims and objections is closing soon, with the drive scheduled to conclude on October 30, 2026. Once the intensive revision and verification processes are complete, the final electoral roll for Delhi is slated for official publication on December 4, 2026.
