The extension was granted because over 1.5% of voters had not submitted their enumeration forms by the original July 14 deadline. Gurugram district recorded the highest number of pending submissions, with 8.3% of its registered voters yet to submit forms. The CEO noted that 'uncollectable' forms, indicating deceased, absent, or shifted voters, stood at over 33 lakh statewide.
