The draft electoral roll for Delhi has been released, containing approximately 97.5 lakh electors. This number reflects those whose enumeration forms were received and digitized during the Special Enrollment Drive (SIR) exercise.

According to the Delhi chief electoral officer, 47.7 lakh electors have been excluded from the current list out of the total 1.45 crore voters in the national capital. Those excluded can file claims against this decision until September 30.

The SIR conducted in the city spanned from June 20 to August 17, 2026, facilitating the updated electoral processes in the region.

The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4, 2026, providing an opportunity for those excluded to seek reinstatement in the voter list.
