The office of the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) will organise a special voter registration camp on 25 October 2026 across all 14,947 polling stations in the capital, giving electors who were left out during the Summary Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls a final opportunity to file claims or objections. The announcement came on Friday, 23 October, with officials confirming that 2,50,754 Form 6 applications for fresh enrolment have been received since the start of the claims-and-objections period on 31 August.

Scale of the Enrolment Drive

According to the CEO's office, an additional 2,12,400 Form 6 applications were received prior to the draft publication of the electoral rolls. All pending applications are expected to be disposed of by 30 November, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

Officials also noted that out of roughly 33 lakh cases flagged for no-mapping or logical discrepancy, around 29.50 lakh have already been resolved or parked for inclusion in the final roll by Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs).

Booth-Level Agents Monitoring the Process

The SIR exercise is being concurrently audited by 33,226 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by six recognised national parties operating in Delhi. The CEO's office said all activities are being shared with BLAs at both the Assembly Constituency and booth level, ensuring multi-party oversight at every stage of the process.

Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are additionally conducting door-to-door visits to trace electors whose names appeared in the pre-SIR rolls but are absent from the current draft. Wherever an eligible elector is found, BLOs are facilitating fresh enrolment through Form 6.

Deadline and Citizen Advisory

'Only few days are left in the period of claims and objections. All citizens of Delhi are again requested to check your name in the draft electoral roll, and if name not found in the draft electoral roll, file your claim or objection before October 30,' the CEO said in an official statement.

This comes amid heightened sensitivity around Delhi's electoral rolls ahead of upcoming assembly elections, with political parties and civil society closely monitoring the accuracy of voter lists. The special camp on 25 October is designed to be a last-mile intervention before the claims window closes.

What Happens Next

All Form 6 applications received — both before and after draft publication — will be processed by 30 November 2026. The final electoral rolls will be published thereafter, incorporating all validated claims and resolving outstanding discrepancies flagged during the SIR process.

Point of View

947 simultaneous camps and over 4.6 lakh Form 6 applications — signals just how contested Delhi's voter list has become. The unresolved discrepancy figure of 33 lakh, even after most cases were parked, points to structural gaps in address-mapping that recur every revision cycle. Multi-party BLA oversight is a safeguard, but the real accountability question is how many of the parked cases are genuinely eligible voters versus ghosts in the system. With assembly elections on the horizon, the accuracy of the final roll — not just the size of the camp — will be the number that matters.
