Nearly 42% voters mapped, SIR to start on June 30, says Delhi CEO
The Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi announced that nearly 42% of voters have been mapped with the 2002 electoral rolls ahead of the special intensive revision starting June 30. The mapping process has faced challenges due to the city's significant migrant population, but officials are optimistic about improvements through door-to-door verification. The final electoral rolls are set to be published on October 7 after a series of verification steps and public claims.
