The deadline for the voter list clean-up exercise, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), in the national capital has been extended to August 17, the Election Commission said today. This is the second extension to the SIR of the electoral rolls in Delhi this month. As per the revised schedule, the draft electoral rolls will now be published on August 24, instead of August 17. The poll panel has revised the schedule for the ongoing voter list revision, extending the timeline for several key stages of the exercise. Under the updated schedule, electoral officials will examine and decide on claims and objections submitted by voters between August 24 and October 22. The publication of the final electoral rolls has also been pushed back to October 27, from the earlier date of October 19.
In Delhi, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have already distributed enumeration forms to nearly all of the city's 1.45 crore registered voters. More than 62 per cent of the completed forms have been digitised so far. Earlier, the deadline for the door-to-door verification drive being carried out by BLOs was August 8. How to fill the Delhi SIR form Given below are the steps to fill in the Delhi SIR form Electors need to match their details with the previous SIR exercise conducted between 2002 and 2005. The left-hand section of the SIR form is for electors whose names appeared in the electoral rolls prepared during Delhi's previous revision in 2002. Those who were registered as electors in any state other than Delhi during the above-mentioned period must provide details from the corresponding electoral rolls of the state where they were enrolled.
Electors must provide the following details: Elector's name EPIC number Relative's name Relationship District State Assembly Constituency (AC) name Assembly Constituency (AC) number Part number Serial number A recent passport-sized photograph must also be attached. What to do if a voter's name is not found in the earlier rolls If a voter's name is not found in the earlier electoral rolls, a link can be established through their parents or grandparents whose names appeared in those records. In such cases, the section on the right-hand side of the form must be filled in with the details of the relative whose name appeared in the previous SIR, along with the voter's relationship to that person. In the bottom section of the form, electors must provide their date of birth, mobile number, and the name of their parent, guardian or spouse, along with that person's current EPIC number.
