If your name does not appear in Delhi’s draft Special Intensive Revision (SIR) electoral roll, you still have a chance to get it added before the Election Commission publishes the final voter list on November 4. The claims and objections window opened on August 31 and will remain open until September 30.Delhi’s draft roll contains around 97.5 lakh electors, covering 67.21% of the capital’s 1,45,10,299 registered voters. Around 47.7 lakh names do not appear in the draft after officials categorised those electors as Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate and Others, or ASDDO.What can voters do if their name is missing?Voters who cannot find their names in the draft roll can submit a claim for inclusion during the August 31 to September 30 window.The Delhi chief electoral officer’s office said affected voters can file Form 6, along with the required Declaration form and supporting documents. Officials will then examine the claims and conduct verification where necessary.You Might Also Like:The claims and objections process will continue beyond the September 30 deadline for filing. Under the revised schedule, authorities will examine claims and objections and complete the notice and disposal process by October 29.Booth-level officers can also conduct field visits to verify the information submitted by voters. If the authorities find the details in order, they can include the voter’s name in the final SIR electoral roll.Why are nearly 47.7 lakh names missing?The SIR exercise involved house-to-house verification across Delhi’s 70 Assembly constituencies. Around 13,000 booth-level officers distributed enumeration forms across all 13 districts.Officials received and digitised forms for around 67.2% of Delhi’s electorate. They placed the remaining electors in the ASDDO category when they could not collect or verify their forms.Officials said some voters had moved from their registered addresses, while others had shifted elsewhere within Delhi or left the city. The category also covers voters whom officials could not verify during the exercise.The draft roll therefore does not automatically mean that these voters have permanently lost their right to appear on the electoral roll. The claims process gives them an opportunity to seek inclusion.What documents may voters need?The documents required can vary according to the voter’s date of birth.Voters born before July 1, 1987 need documents proving their date and/or place of birth.Those born between July 1, 1987 and December 2, 2004 need documents relating to themselves and one parent.Those born after December 2, 2004 need documents relating to themselves and both parents.The Election Commission has suggested several documents that voters can use, including birth certificates, passports, matriculation or educational certificates, permanent residence certificates, government-issued documents, government or PSU employee or pensioner identity cards, and records from banks, post offices, LIC and PSUs issued before July 1, 1987.Other documents on the suggested list include forest rights certificates, caste certificates, NRC records where applicable, family registers and government-issued land or house allotment documents.What happens after you file a claim?Submitting a claim does not automatically add a name to the final roll. Election officials will examine the information and documents submitted and may seek further verification if they find discrepancies.The SIR process will also scrutinise some voters whose names already appear in the draft roll. Officials may issue notices where they find anomalies in the information or cannot link an elector’s details with the 2002 intensive revision roll.These anomalies can include differences between an elector’s current name and the name recorded in the 2002 roll, unusual age differences between an elector and a parent, or unusually small gaps between the birth dates of siblings.Where officials have doubts about an elector’s age or citizenship, the electoral registration officer can seek additional documents.The final Delhi SIR electoral roll will come out on November 4. Until then, voters whose names do not appear in the draft can use the claims and objections process to seek their inclusion.
