The Hindu’s report, covering the period from September 21 to 27, 2026, revealed that four individuals surpassed the 10‑form daily threshold during Delhi’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Among them, BJP BLA Chitresh Chandoliya submitted 35 objections over two days – 12 on September 21 and 23 on September 22 – according to the publication.
Chitresh’s filings included a Form 7 objecting to his own name on the grounds that he was ‘dead’, a rare move that arouses scrutiny. The 20‑year‑old resident of Sangam Vihar, Apoorv Dwivedy, was also named in a Form 7 seeking deletion of his own entry.
Election Commission guidelines permit bulk submissions after the draft electoral roll is released but cap each BLA at ten forms per day. The ECINET portal, however, lacks the mechanism to enforce this limit, and the software used cannot impose the prescribed restriction.
Chitresh explained that the portal offers no online flag for a party‑appointed BLA and that bulk uploads are unrestricted. He also noted that the Form 7s he filed for Karol Bagh residents cited ‘absent/permanently shifted’ as the reason, though the individuals were verified at their addresses.
The report highlights a systemic gap: nearly a month into the claims and objections phase, individual application details remain absent from the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer’s public website. The findings expose a loophole in the ECINET portal that allows BLA submissions beyond the prescribed cap, raising concerns about electoral integrity.
