Delhi draft electoral roll out: How to check your name
The Delhi electoral office has published a draft voter roll, marking 47.7 lakh entries as uncollectible due to potential relocation or death. Citizens have until September 30 to file claims if their names were incorrectly excluded.
Why it matters
Ensuring an accurate electoral roll is essential for the integrity of the democratic process and voter participation in upcoming elections.
The draft electoral roll for Delhi was published on August 31, 2026, after the completion of the Special Intensive Revision or SIR , which began on June 20 and culminated on August 17.
As many as 47.7 lakh electors out of the 1.45 crore of the national capital’s voters were excluded in the draft roll. They are now considered as people who may have moved or died; are covered under duplicate entries, or for “other” reasons have now been marked “uncollectible” and will eventually have their names struck off. However, a system for inclusion has also been outlined.
Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer has said that those excluded can file their claims till September 30 through Form 6 with supporting documents. The final voter roll will be published on November 4.
