Around 100% distribution of enumeration forms in Delhi reflect door-to-door coverage, not voter receipt: official
Election officials in Delhi have clarified that the near-100% distribution rate of enumeration forms during the special intensive revision process represents attempted deliveries to all registered addresses rather than successful personal handovers. The process involves identifying voters who are absent, shifted, deceased, or duplicate, while also flagging individuals whose residency status or citizenship is unclear.
Why it matters
The accuracy of the electoral roll is critical for democratic integrity, and the identification of 'ASDD' voters and those flagged as potential foreign nationals highlights the administrative challenges and political sensitivities involved in maintaining voter databases.
As the enumeration phase of the special intensive revision (SIR) is progressing at a quick pace in the Capital, election officials said that the nearly 100% distribution of forms during the door-to-door verification phase does not mean that every elector was personally handed over the form, but it reflects that a form has been delivered or an attempt was made to deliver one to every Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) address in Delhi’s electoral roll.
