Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer announced that 1.15 lakh Form 6 applications were cleared from the enrolment queue between 31 August and 20 October 2024, bringing the total disposed to 4.56 lakh.
The draft rolls, released on 31 August, listed 97.53 lakh electors, down from 1.45 crore, after 47.5 lakh names were moved to the Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate (ASDD) list.
Verification rates vary sharply: Okhla confirmed 54.6% of its electors, while R K Puram lagged at 44.5%—a gap the CEO attributes to high migration.
All 33.12 lakh notices flagged for non‑mapping or logical discrepancies are now being tackled through door‑to‑door reviews; 80% have been resolved, with special camps and ERO–BLO coordination accelerating the process.
Poll officials urge voters to file any pending Form 6 applications by 30 October, after which only disposal will be processed until 30 November; the final rolls will hit the public domain on 4 December.
