The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Delhi on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, launched special voter enrolment camps across colleges and universities in the national capital as part of a two-day initiative aimed at ensuring no eligible elector is left out of the Draft Electoral Roll. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are stationed at these camps to help students fill out Form 6, address queries related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, and collect completed applications on the spot.
Key Developments in the Drive
The initiative, running through Thursday, 8 October 2026, is designed to maximise enrolment of young and first-time voters. BLOs are also conducting house-to-house visits across the city to identify eligible electors who may have been omitted from draft rolls, facilitating their enrolment wherever they qualify. Separately, special camps have been set up for residents displaced following the recent demolition of their colonies, with these electors directed to visit camps at their present place of residence for enrolment.
Election Commission Mandate and Timeline
The drive follows Election Commission of India (ECI) instructions issued on 1 October, ordering a targeted push to enrol all 'left out eligible electors.' The claims and objections period — during which electors whose names are absent from the Draft Electoral Roll can submit Form 6 along with supporting documents — began on 31 August and continues until 30 October. All notices, claims, and objections are to be disposed of by the Election Office by 30 November, with the final electoral roll set for publication on 12 December.
ASDD Electors and Verification Progress
The poll body has specifically urged electors whose names appear on the Absent, Shifted, Dead, and Duplicate (ASDD) list — compiled during BLO house-to-house visits — to file Form 6 if they believe they are eligible. The ASDD list is publicly accessible on the website of the Office of the CEO of Delhi. As of Wednesday, 13,62,162 cases of 'no-mapping' and 'logical discrepancy' have been verified on the basis of documents collected from electors, according to an official statement.
How to Enrol or Submit Forms
Eligible electors can submit Form 6 through multiple channels: physically to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO), Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO), BLO, or at designated locations such as polling stations. BLOs are additionally visiting electors for whom notices have been generated, collecting their documents directly so that individuals do not need to travel to offices for hearings. The drive's stated objective aligns with the ECI's slogan: 'Every Eligible Elector is added, and no ineligible entries remain in the Electoral Roll.'
Point of View
But the displacement angle here is politically significant — residents uprooted by demolitions face the additional burden of re-establishing their voter registration at a new address, and the window to do so closes on 30 October. The 13,62,162 discrepancy cases flagged as of Wednesday is a large number for a single city and points to structural gaps in Delhi's electoral rolls that routine revision cycles have failed to fix. With Delhi having held a closely contested assembly election in early 2025, the stakes in getting these rolls accurate — and the optics of who is excluded — are not trivial.
