Election Commission extends Special Intensive Revision deadline
The Election Commission (EC) has extended the deadline for the special intensive revision (SIR) of Delhi's electoral roll to August 8. This extension, a 10-day increase from the original July 29 deadline, was necessitated by the slow pace of digitisation of enumeration forms. While house-to-house verification began on June 30, only 14.35% of the forms for Delhi's 1.45 crore electors have been digitized. The draft roll will now be released on August 17, with the final roll published on October 19.
