Delhi’s voter list update campaign is bringing special registration camps to redevelopment- and demolition-affected areas, with election officials helping eligible residents submit Form 6 applications and verify entries linked to their current addresses.
The campaign is being conducted by the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Delhi, during the claims and objections period. Camps have been organised for residents of areas including Bela Estate, Jailor Wala Bagh, Narela, Bawana, Mangolpuri and the Wazirpur industrial area, according to a report by Jagran citing Delhi CEO Ashok Kumar.
The exercise is intended to ensure that eligible citizens are not left out of the electoral roll because of changes linked to redevelopment, demolition or relocation. Booth-level officers are visiting settlements and re-verifying voters listed under the ASDD category, which refers to anomalous, shifted, dead or duplicate entries.
Where a voter listed at a particular address is found to be eligible and still residing there, officials are helping the person complete Form 6 so that the process of adding the name to the electoral roll can begin. The CEO’s office said the special camps would continue through the full claims and objections period.
The campaign has recorded 2,30,165 Form 6 applications since the claims and objections period began. Before publication of the draft electoral roll, 2,12,400 Form 6 applications had been submitted, according to the figures cited in the report. The applications are being processed under guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India.
The figures indicate the scale of voter-registration activity during the revision process, particularly in locations where population movement and changes in housing conditions can make electoral records difficult to maintain. For residents affected by redevelopment, access to a nearby camp or help from a booth-level officer can reduce the administrative burden of updating an address or seeking inclusion in the roll.
The CEO’s office has also placed lists of claims and objections filed under Forms 9, 10, 11, 11A and 11B on its official website. These lists are being shared weekly with political parties, according to the report, as part of the stated effort to maintain transparency in the revision process.
Electoral Registration Officers and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers have been instructed not to remove a person’s name from the draft electoral roll without providing a fair hearing. Residents who have concerns about their entry or need assistance with Form 6 can contact the toll-free voter helpline at 1950. Helpdesks are also available during office hours at district election offices and at the offices of Electoral Registration Officers at the assembly-constituency level.
The special revision process is scheduled to conclude with publication of the final electoral roll on 4 December 2026. Until then, residents in affected areas can use the camps, helpline and local election offices to submit applications or raise objections regarding their voter-list entries.
